RECORDING IMAGES
Images that are being monitored can be recorded onto the hard disk inside the DVR. There are three
recording modes that are available: “Normal recording” involves using manual operations to record live
images that are being monitored; “Timer recording” lets you specify a time for recording to take place
automatically; and “Alarm recording” automatically starts recording when an alarm such as an intruder
is detected.
■ Normal Recording (User Level: ID3 or higher)
You can specify a DVR and then click the recording button to immediately start recording the live
images that are currently being monitored.
