rate, recording mode and quality from the drop-down options. The system will instantly update the
‘Days to Record’ section, showing how many estimated recording days will result from the settings
set above. These recording settings will apply to all cameras registered with the DVR. To manually
setup different recordings for each camera or recording schedule, disable the Quick Setup menu
and go to the RECORD setup menu..

The VMA X A1™ has been designed to work with
panoramic cameras like Digital Watchdog’s
STAR-LIGHT AHD PANO™ Panoramic camera.
Each sensor is connected to the DVR as an
individual output, resulting in a perfectly stitched
panoramic view across the DVR’s local monitor
or the Pivot™ remote monitoring software.
