Programming Programming allows you to configure camera, audio, and alarm operation; set the system date and time; define a password; and update the program.
CAMERA MENU Use this menu to define the following: • Which cameras the DVR will record • Whether starting and stopping of recording will be done manually or automatically • What the record rate (frames per second) will be • What the recording resolution (low to high) will be • Whether live video can be viewed in record mode • Starting and stopping times for scheduled recording • Whether audio recording will be on or off TIP: You can return to the previous menu at any time by pressing the Stop b
5. The fps (Frame Per Second) field shows the recording rate for all cameras. To change the fps, use the Search (<>) buttons to highlight fps, and then use the number keypad to enter the frames per second. The maximum frames per second is determined by the number of cameras being recorded and whether the Preview feature is on or off. Refer to Table B for the maximum frames per second. Table B. Maximum Frames per Second Cameras 1 2 3 4 Preview On 15 5 3 2 Preview Off 30 7 5 3 6.
. Use the Search (<>) buttons to highlight each field in the menu. Recording Times The recorder will record continuously between the specified times. Use the number buttons to enter the hour of the starting time and ending time. Enter two digits. Enter the hours in 24-hour format. For example, enter 08 for 8 a.m. and 15 for 3 p.m. For 24-hour recording, enter a start time of 00 and an ending time of 24. For no recording, enter a start time of 24 and an end time of 00.
ALL RESOLUTION MENU Use this menu to set the resolution for all cameras. If you want to use different resolutions for the cameras, set the resolutions in the Camera menu (previous section). NOTES: Setting the resolution in this menu will overwrite all camera resolution settings made in the individual camera settings (step 12 of previous section). Higher resolutions require more disk storage space, reducing the recording time; lower resolutions need less disk space, increasing the recording time.
ALARM OUTPUT MENU The ALARM output on the rear panel is a single-pole, normally open, latching, dry contact. This output can be used to notify you if there has been an alarm event that might require review. The alarm output can be enabled or disabled (armed/disarmed) manually, or it can be programmed to enable (arm) or disable (disarm) at the same time automatically every day.
3. Use the Search (<>) buttons to move around within the menu. Highlight Alarm Output and press the Play/Pause button to select. The Alarm Output menu appears. ALARM OUTPUT Enable Alarm Output: 00 Disable Alarm Output: 24 Automatically Enable Alarm Output: On Quit 4. Use the Search (<>) buttons to highlight the fields for starting and ending times. When you highlight a field, use the number buttons to enter the time. The starting and ending times refer to the hour. Enter two digits.
TIME MENU The DVR uses the time and date to index video on the hard disk drive so you can find it later. Changing the time can cause the DVR to work improperly when you try to play back video. If you set the hour ahead, this is not a problem. But if you set the hour back, there will be more than one recording at the same time. Therefore, you should refrain from making frequent changes as this will complicate searching by time and date.

AUTOMATIC EVENT RECORDING Event recording allows you to program the DVR to record only when an alarm input is activated. The DVR will record for as long as the alarm input is active. After the alarm goes away, the DVR will continue to record for the programmed time. Event recording allows you to conserve even more hard disk drive space than scheduled recording.
