1 through 31 (any period of calendar days named)
Monday–Sunday (any individual day)
Monday–Friday (weekdays)
Saturday–Sunday (weekends)
Monday through Sunday (all week long)
• Start: Hours/Minutes of the starting time for the scheduled recording (24-hour clock time). Note that hours and
minutes are edited separately.
• Stop: Hours/Minutes of the ending time for the scheduled recording (24-hour clock time). Note that hours and
minutes are edited separately.
• Spd (pps): Capture rate for the scheduled, normal recording in pictures per second. Choose from the following:
60, 30, 20, 10, 5, 3, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.2, 0.1, 0.0*
*NOTE: 0.0 corresponds to Alarm Only recording.
• Quality: Choose from either SVHS (highest picture quality) or VHS (standard picture quality, with a longer
recording time).
• On/Off: Choose from one of three parameters:
On (recording starts as scheduled)
Off (recording does not start)
Delete (all recording schedule parameters are deleted)
NOTE: The fields in the Timer Settings menu can be edited easily using the Left/Right Arrows to move between
fields and Up/Down Arrows to scroll through the various options at each parameter. When you finish setting the
parameters, press ENTER. Use the Left/Right Arrows to navigate, then highlight [OK], and press ENTER.
4.5 Configuring the Recording Parameters
Main Menu ➝ Record Settings
This menu allows you to set the recording speed and quality for both normal and
alarm conditions. Use this menu to specify the following:
• Record input (composite video or S-video) on the DVR1 rear panel.
• Record speed (in pictures per second) for normal recording.
• Record speed (in pictures per second) for an alarm condition.
• Video quality (i.e. compression ratio/image quality) for recorded images (SVHS or
VHS). Note that higher compression (VHS) corresponds to standard quality images,
with a longer recording time.
NOTE: If a single camera input is connected to the unit, select NONE. See Section 5.8 for details on Multiplexer
applications.
