Pre-Event Recording Setup - Honeywell HDVR Reference Manual

Pre-Event Recording Setup

Rev 1.00
Pre-event recording allows you to use the HRDV16/8 to record a separate pre-event video
clip prior to a detected motion, text, or alarm event. You can also set up the HRDV to
record a separate motion, text, or alarm video event clip of the actual event.
When you want to record a pre-event video clip, you must first configure the HRDV for that
required event.
For motion, text, and alarm events, ensure that the Event calendar is enabled so that the
HRDV detects events and records an event video clip.
There are two operating modes for pre-event:
• Storing pre-event clips, motion clips, and timelapse clips. Using this mode requires
more disk drive storage space as duplicate recording occurs.
• Storing pre-event clips and motion clips. Using this mode requires less storage
space as no duplicate recording occurs.
This chapter covers how to:
• Use the Pre-event Setup screen to set the length of the pre-event video clip
• Configure the HRDV to store pre-event and timelapse video clips
• Configure the HRDV to store only pre-event and event video clips
Access the Pre-event Setup screen as follows: MENU
Setup. Figure 14-1 displays.
