PART 6 - SETTING UP THE DVR TO RECORD

There are 4 modes for recording: manual, schedule, motion detection, and external sensor. In this Quick Start Guide

we will cover manual, schedule, and motion detection. If you want to use external sensor alarms refer to sections

4.4.3 through 4.5.1 of the user’s manual for information on how to set these up. To setup any type of recording you

need to select Record in the Setup menu (RED square in Pic 6.1) which will bring up the RECORD screen (Pic 6.2).

Here you can enable recording on the channels you want to record by putting checkmarks in the boxes of the

cameras that you want to record.

3. Motion Detection Recording:

Go to the Main menu, Setup, and click on the Alarm icon (Blue Box in Pic 6.7) and select Motion which will bring up

the screen shown as Pic 6.8. Go to the Motion options (Blue tab in Pic 6.8). Put a checkmark in the box for the

cameras that you want to record on motion detection. Next set the holding time (the length of time the file stays open

after motion stops) for each of the cameras. Then go to the trigger setting and select the cameras that you want to

record when each camera detects motion. For example, under channel one if you only want channel one to start

recording when it detects motion then select channel one only. If you also want cameras 2 and 3 to start recording

when channel 1 detects motion then select channels 1, 2, and 3.

mouse to select an area that you want to be sensitive. You can use the slide bar at the bottom of the screen to set the

level of sensitivity you want, the higher the number, the more sensitive the motion detection. Click on the icon

showing a silhouette of a person (yellow arrow in Pic 6.9) and an illustration of a walking figure will appear (red arrow

in Pic 6.9). Drag the walking figure across the blue grid to adjust the sensitivity levels of specific areas that are

captured in the field of view of your camera. Once you have identified a field of view that suits your needs, click on the

save icon (red box in Pic 6.9) to save your settings. Repeat this for each camera.
