  If your player does not display a Live image at all, that indicates recording does not work, so first check if you see an image on the screen. Recording does not work if the recording settings are not properly configured. To start recording manually, press the [REC] button on the remote control. To schedule recording, specify a desired time in Menu – Record – Recording Schedule. Continuous Recording will proceed in any conditions at the specified time. Event Recording will perform only if the event is of alarm, motion detection, video loss and Tampering Detection. If there is no event found, Continuous recording will perform. Whereas, if an event occurs, Event recording will perform.

  When you are backing up data, you have choices about the player either: PC or DVR. Make your selection before proceeding. If you are using the PC to play the data, the format of the backup file should be SEC. If you are using the DVR for this purpose, formatting backup files should be done by the DVR.
