(b) Quad-Field - The DVR will record all cameras in a Quad Split screen. Images will be
saved 1 field at a time. This usually ensures more fluent playback of

(c) Multiplex – The DVR will record all cameras in individual full screen samples.
Note: 1) The Quad mode will offer a higher IPS rating per camera, but are recorded at a
lower resolution.
Example: If the Record IPS is set to 30, all 4 cameras are recorded at this
setting at a resolution of 320 x 240.
2) The Multiplex mode offers a higher resolution (Full Screen 720 x 480) rating per
camera, but at a lower IPS.
Example: If the Record IPS is set to 30, this number is divided by the 4 cameras.
This yields 7.5 IPS per camera.

When the DET setting is “ON”, you can set up the MOTION RECORD function.
1. Select “ON” to enable the motion trigger recording: The system will automatically switch
to the Record Mode upon pixel-based motion detection. The motion detection will also
change the scanning sequence and show
on the monitor.
For example: If the motion is detected on Camera #1, the recording & scanning
sequence will be more frequent on that channel. The sequence will be:
1st, 2nd, 1st, 3rd, 1st, 4th. Channel 1 will show
on the screen. If
the 2nd and 3rd camera are both motion activated, they will be scanned
as 2nd, 3rd, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 2nd, 3rd, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th … and vice
versa. CH2 & CH3 will show
Alarm Duration time is set for.
for the same period of time that the
NOTE: The trigger recording time will depend on the ALARM DURATION mode setting
(Please refer to page 10 for ALARM DURATION) and will record from the
last trigger time. For example, when the alarm duration setting is 1 min, the
recording time is from 9:00:00 to 9:01:00. If the motion detection is triggered
again at 9:00:40, the triggered recording time will be from 9:00:00 to 9:00:40
and 9:00:40 to 9:01:40. The total recording time is 00:01:40.
