The DVR schedule can be set to record using three dierent record modes.

ALARM: Will record only when the alarm function has been triggered. This

is the setting to choose if you want to record only when the DVR

detects motion (recommended). By only recording when motion is

detected, you’ll not only save a great deal of hard drive space, you

won’t have to watch hours and hours of footage to locate the one

incident you’re interested in.

NORMAL: Will record constantly for the duration specied. This is a great

way to make sure you don’t miss anything in the short term, but

will use up your hard drive space faster than you can say “record

everything”.

Of course, there are some times that recording everything is

necessary - when you’re using a PTZ system in cruise mode, for

example.

Be aware that when you are constantly recording all eight channels,

the DVR will only be able to record for a few days to weeks at a time

(depending on the quality, framerate and resolution settings you’ve

chosen) before it will have to start overwriting old events (assuming

you have Overwrite enabled) or stop recording altogether.
