There must be at least 8192 images of recorded data for playback to work properly. 
If not, your DVR will stop the playback. For example, if the IPS is set to 30, the 
recording time should be at least 273 seconds (8192 images / 30 IPS) for the 
playback to work properly.

When the recording function is activated, please DO NOT change the date or time 
on your DVR. The recorded data will be disordered and you will not be able to find 
the recorded file to backup by time search. 

If users change the date or time accidentally when the recording function is 
activated, it’s recommended to clear all HDD data, and start recording again.
