NOTE: The total ips of all camera channels will be limited to 120 ips (60 ips for 4-ch Model)
when set to High resolution and 60 ips (30 ips for 4-ch Model) when set to Very High
resolution.
NOTE: When set to High or Very High resolution, the maximum recording speed of each
camera channel might decrease so as not to exceed the total ips of all camera channels.
The 8-channel model DVR has two camera groups (No. 1: cameras 1 to 4 and No. 2: cameras
5 to 8), and setting resolution will be applied to all the cameras within the same camera
group. See the table below.

Highlight the Event Record Dwell box and set the length of time you would like to record for
the associated event. You can set the dwell from 5 seconds to 15 minutes. Refer to Event Actions
screen in this chapter for information regarding event recording.
Highlighting Record Audio and pressing the button toggles between On and Off. When set
to On, the DVR will record audio when video is recording.
NOTE: The DVR will NOT record audio when the recording speed is set to less than 1 ips.
Highlight the box beside Auto Deletion, and use the Left and Right arrow buttons to adjust the
length of time recorded data will be kept from 1 to 999 days. The DVR automatically deletes
video recorded earlier than the user-defined period under three conditions: at midnight, whenever
the system reboots or whenever the user changes the Auto Deletion settings. Selecting Never will
disable the Auto Deletion function.
Highlight the slide bar beside Limit Time-Lapse Recording, and use the Left and Right arrow
buttons to adjust the length of the maximum storage time for time-lapse recording from 1 to 99
days. The Limit Time-Lapse Recording feature will function when the storage device has enough
space to record video data longer than the preset period. When this feature is On, the DVR records
over the oldest “time-lapse” video once all available storage has been used in the Recycle mode,
so more event video can be saved. Selecting Never will disable the Limit Time-Lapse Recording
function.
NOTE: When the storage device does not have enough space to record video data longer
than the preset Limit Time-Lapse Recording period, the DVR records over the oldest video
data (time-lapse or event video) as it would in the Recycle mode even if this feature is turned
On.
NOTE: The maximum storage time is only an estimate because the amount of space required
to store video varies depending on many factors such as motion and image complexity.
Highlight the Panic Record tab, and the Panic Record setup screen appears.
