7 Recording Setup
YourImageVaultDVRhasnumerousoptionsallowingyouto“ne-tune”how
it records video and data. Nearly all features discussed in this section require
logginginattheServicepermissionlevel.Mostfeatures,onceconguredand
“tweaked” for optimum performance, will rarely ever be changed again unless
something changes in your system.
Your recorder may be set up to record continuously, continuously during sched-
uled periods, or on demand. On demand recording means that recording is trig-
gered by internal motion detection, dry contact closure, or captured data.
7.1 Global Recording Settings
Parameters considered to be “global” are those parameters which affect the
entire DVR’s operation. Select “Record Setup” from the Edit Params submenu of
the Status menu.
Automatic Range Locks: Enabling this feature causes the DVR to automati-
cally create a Range Lock (Section 5.2) whenever the “Copy Video to CD” button
or icon is pressed. You have the added option of deciding how the DVR should
behave when all Range Locks are already in use.
Quality Factor:Determinesdigitalcompression.Lesscompressmeanshigherle
size and vice-versa. The default value (3) is best for most applications.
