day, follow these steps:
1. Open the Main Menu by hovering the mouse over the top of the screen and
clicking on the “Menu” button
2. Click on the “Record” icon. Then click on the “Schedule” option.
3. Once in the Record schedule section, choose your camera at the top and
make sure the “Enable Schedule” box is checked. On the right-hand side,
select how you’d like to record throughout the week. Continuous will record
24/7, but will take up the most storage space. Motion will only record when
motion is detected within the motion detection areas.
7
4. After selecting your desired recording type, draw a box on the sections
you’d like to change. The section should change colors to the desired
recording type.

divided by same color boxes next to each other, until the next color. Once you
are done with this camera, click apply at the bottom right.
Recording Types:
Continuous: Will record 24/7
Event: Will record when an “Event” was triggered. “Events” are special
features that certain cameras have, an example would be “Line Crossing” or
“Face Detection”. If you have a camera that supports any special features, you
can set them up within the VCA section of the NVR. In the Record Schedule
section, this option will only record when such “Events” are triggered.
8
Motion: Records when motion is detected within the motion detection areas
that you have setup.
Alarm: Will only record if an external alarm is triggered. (An external Alarm is
required with this, if your system supports it)
M | A: Will record when motion is detected or an alarm is triggered.
M & A: Will only record when both motion is detected and an alarm is triggered.
None: Will not record at all.

Recording Parameters
The Recording Parameters section is used to modify the way each
channel is recording. This section is recommended for Advanced users,
to help modify the systems bandwidth/priority to each channel. The
default settings are optimized for performance and video quality of the

is using. When motion is low,the camera will only use minimal data and vice
versa. When the motion is high, it will use more data to create a smoother
picture. Constant will keep the data at the same range regardless of motion.
Video Quality: The system uses this as a guide for data usage when using
constant or variable. The better the picture, the more data will be streamed
through the motherboard of the system. High bandwidth could cause the

will allow you to use any Bitrate you’d like.
Max Bitrate(Kbps): The maximum number of kilobytes that the camera can
use per second. The higher this number is, the more data the camera will use.
