The system will record video from all 4 channels simultaneously with MOTION, SCHEDULE and MANUAL

not recording sound with the video image press the “Power” button once briefly. The icon  
will show

slot boxes in the diagram above each represent hourly slots, e.g., selecting AM 10:00 means recording  
will occur from 10:00 am to 11:00 am. Also if for example, boxes AM 10:00 and AM 11:00 are set to “S”  
(Schedule) recording, please note that a continuous 2 hour video file will not be recorded but separate files  
depending on the recording time for each file setup, i.e., if set to 2 minutes then 60 clips will be recorded  
in a 2 hour schedule recording slot.

triggering by motion. Recording cannot be stopped until 30 seconds after recording has started. This  
mandatory system operation is designed to prolong the overall life of memory card. To stop recording,  
press REC/DEL once. To remove the memory card, please power off the system first.  
If SCHEDULE recording mode is set, the system will automatically resume recording 60 seconds after  
recording is stopped manually. If MOTION record mode is set, the system will resume motion detection  
function 60 seconds after recording is stopped manually.  
Recording must be stopped before entering the system main menu and the system will resume the mode  
selected in the IDLE DISPLAY SETUP.  
NOTE: Recording will not work if there is no memory card inserted into the DVR.

information obtained from such activities. Prior to using this system, you should become familiar with the per-  
tinent laws to ensure compliance with those applicable to surveillance activities.
