CHAPTER 5 RECORDING
5.3 MASK FIELD
The Mask Field lets you block a specific portion of a channel you do not want recorded or
shown on the display screen. This can be useful if you need to conceal a sensitive area being
captured by the installed camera.
5.4 MOTION DETECT
The default recording mode for your DVR is “Alarm’ which includes motion detection. The
Motion Detection menu can be found by accessing the Advance menu from the Main
Menu. In this menu you can configure motion detection for each channel.
The menu will only display four channels at a time. The pull-down menu in the upper left of the
menu allows you to switch between available groups of four channels.

MASK FIELD SETUP. The Mask
Field menu opens.

apply the Mask Field.

will be replaced by the full-screen
