Highlight Record in the Record menu and press the button. The Record setup screen appears.
Highlighting Record Audio and pressing the button toggles between On and Off. When set to On, the DVR will
record audio when video is recording.
NOTE: The DVR will NOT record audio when the recording speed is set to less than 1 ips.
Highlight the box beside Auto Deletion, and use the Left and Right arrow buttons to adjust the length of time recorded
data will be kept from 1 to 999 days. The DVR automatically deletes video recorded earlier than the user-defined period
under three conditions: at midnight, whenever the system reboots or whenever the user changes the Auto Deletion settings.
Selecting Never will disable the Auto Deletion function.
Highlight the slide bar beside Limit Time-Lapse Recording, and use the Left and Right arrow buttons to adjust the
length of the maximum storage time for time-lapse recording from 1 to 99 days. The Limit Time-Lapse Recording
feature will function when the storage device has enough space to record video data longer than the preset period. When
this feature is On, the DVR records over the oldest “time-lapse” video once all available storage has been used in the
Recycle mode, so more event video can be saved. Selecting Never will disable the Limit Time-Lapse Recording function.
