RECORDING, PLA

YBACK AND RECORD SEARCH

While older files will get overwritten by the Recycling Recording function as the hard drive 
fills up, you can delete unnecessary or unwanted recordings before then. 

This function will delete a file or blocks of 
files from a specific camera or which were 
recorded during a set time.
Select the channel on the left side, and then 
the select start date and time and end date 
and time of the files you wish to delete. 
Click Start to delete files.
You can also remove files manually by 
deleting them from the folder where they are 
stored, just as with any other PC file.

This feature allows you to capture still images from a recorded event so they can be saved or 
printed out.
When the 

Search and Playback Interface is displaying only a single channel and the user 

hits the Play/Pause button a second time to pause playback, then the video is in Playback 
Pause mode.

In addition, a second menu will appear below the Search panel. This allows you to make 
picture quality adjustments for the present channel, including brightness, contrast, saturation 
and hue. 

NOTE! This feature is only available in Playback Pause mode on a single 
channel.

These changes will not affect the actual 
recorded image. Pressing the Default icon 
in the lower right of the panel will restore the 
original settings.
Make the desired adjustments to the image 
and then select the Snapshot icon.

At this time the function buttons above the 
File Search panel will be enabled.

Select the number of sequential images you wish to capture and set the save path. The save 
path can also be set in the Basic Configuration menu in the 

Capture Browse setting. You 

can also chose to include which camera took the video and/or the date and time that it was 
recorded within the image itself.
Once you have made your selections, pressing the Snap button will save the images. Press 
Save to preserve your settings for future use or Exit, if you do not wish to retain the settings.

Pressing the Snapshot button will bring up the 

Snap window.

The Print Setup button will bring up a 
conventional Print Setup window to allow you 
to make settings as normal.
Clicking the Print button will open a Print 
Preview dialog that includes some extra 
features.
Select the Position radio button and adjust 
the position of the image on the page using 
the + and - buttons.
Selecting the Size radio button will allow you 
to adjust the image size using those same + 
and - buttons.
