4. Recording Overview
Before continuing with the Recording Overview please be sure to have reviewed DVR Menu
Setup (Chapter 3) specifically the camera & schedule. You are now ready to begin setting up
the machine for recording. This chapter will show you how to setup the recorder for three
basic types of recording: Instant recording, scheduled recording, and event recording.
Instant recording (N) is simple as it sounds its instantaneous, basically manually pressing
the record button for recording, much like pressing the record button on a VCR. Scheduled
recording (1~8) is based upon a set time period of when to begin & end the recording.
Event recording would consist of an alarm or motion having taken place to trigger the DVR
to record on that event.
