2. Under Recording Quality, select the recording quality (High, Medium, or Low).
Note: For information about the data rates represented by the standard quality levels and about selecting
custom recording quality settings, see Advanced Recorder Settings, page 97.
Note: The percentage of available recording space that is allocated to the camera is indicated in the screen.
(In the illustration above, 24% is allocated to the camera.) This value is set in the Advanced Settings. For
additional information, see Advanced Recorder Settings, page 97.
3. If the recorder is event-triggered, select the triggers that will cause the recording to start:
•• VMD: If VMD is enabled for the camera (see Video Motion Detection (VMD), page 88), and you want
VMD events to trigger event recording, select VMD.
•• Sensor events: If you want sensor events to trigger event recording, select the sensors you want to
function as triggers. For example, select S1 to use Sensor 1 as a trigger.
•• Activator events: If you want activator events to trigger event recording, select the activators you want
to function as triggers. For example, select A1 to use Activator 1 as a trigger.
Note: VMD is not automatically selected when it is enabled. Furthermore, if none of the sensors or activators
is selected, and VMD is not selected, no recording will take place.
4. If the recorder is event-triggered, fill in the pre-record and post-record values as follows:
•• Pre-record: The number of seconds before each event that should be included in the recording of the
event. Range: 0–9 seconds.
•• Post-record: The number of seconds following each event that should be included in the recording of
the event.
CAUTION: When you update the quality or size values in this screen, all the recorded video from this camera
that is currently stored on the storage media is deleted.
Advanced Recorder Settings
Advanced settings allow you to customize the recorder's video quality settings. You can choose whether or not
recordings are automatically erased to make room for new recordings, and set the allocation of disk space among all
