Recording >
The overall schedule consists of 4 periods: Weekday Day,  
Weekday Night,  Weekend Day and Weekend Night. The 
start and end time of each period is set in the Profiles 
menu. Recording conditions can be configured for each of 
the four periods.
>> RECORDING
Set the normal recording rate and quality to be used for 
all cameras.
Set the recording rate and quality that are used when an 
input alarm is triggered. All cameras then record at these 
values when an input alarm is triggered.
For each camera separately, set the conditions for 
recording:
Always - camera is always recorded at the set 
recording rate and quality.
Motion only - camera is recorded at the normal rate 
and quality only when motion is detected (no images 
are recorded when there is no motion).
Motion + auto snapshot - camera is recorded at the 
normal rate and quality when motion is detected. The 
rest of the time a snapshot of the camera picture is 
recorded (I-frame images only).
Event Recording time can be configured to a maximum 
of 120 seconds or to follow the event duration.
Pre-event recording time can be configured to a 
maximum of 30 seconds. Pre-event recording takes 
place:
a. on an alarm input if the normal recording rate is 0 
IPS,
b. on a motion event (if a motion mode is selected).
