To set up alarm recording
NOTE: If you want to refine a schedule so that video is recorded based on motion detection, you must first set up timer recording for your cameras.
1. From the remote agent application main screen, click the Setup button if the Settings screen is not open. The Settings screen
appears and the Remote Agent tab is displayed.
2. Open the DVR System tab, and then click the Record tab. (See Figure 68 on page 54.)
3. Under the Alarm Recording settings, configure the start and stop times for recording. Based on the start and stop times you select for each
camera, the DX4000 will add an entry to the log each time an alarm occurs. You can search for these marked events.
• Record: Turn on recording to enable a recording schedule for each camera.
• Start: Select the hour at which you want to start recording each day. Time is selected based on a 24-hour day. If you select 0, recording
will start just after 12:00 midnight.
• Stop: Select the hour at which you want to stop recording each day. Time is selected based on a 24-hour day where 24 is 12:00 mid-
night.
4. Move to the pre-alarm duration field and select the number of seconds before an alarm that the DX4000 should start recording. Including pre-
alarm activity in the recorded video ensures that you will capture all relevant activity surrounding an alarm. Choose between 1 and 5 seconds.
5. Move to the post-alarm duration field and select the number of seconds after an alarm that the DX4000 should continue recording.
Including post-alarm activity in the recorded video ensures that you will capture all relevant activity surrounding an alarm. You can record
for a maximum of three minutes.
6. Click the Apply button to save the changes and continue to other settings. If you are finished updating settings, click the OK button to close
