SECTION 6: OPERATING THE DVR1 SERIES

Operating the DVR1 requires general knowledge in three areas:

• Recording

• Playback

• Searching

Certain operating parameters must be set/programmed as part of initial startup of the DVR1. These activities are

outlined in the following section.

6.1 Initial Startup

On initial power-up of the DVR1, the following settings must be programmed:

• Time/Date

• Alarms

• Password

Please refer to Main Menu Programming, Section 4 for detailed information regarding these functions.

6.2 Recording

To begin recording, press REC. The message, RECORD appears briefly in the upper left-

hand corner of the primary monitor. The unit always starts recording at the end of the

previously recorded data.

Recording continues until one or more of the following occurs:

• Another mode is selected.

• The disk is full (No Overwrite and Overwrite Once modes). See Section 5.3 for details regarding Disk

Overwrite modes.

• Video loss is detected. In the event of video loss, VIDEOLOSS will be indicated in the upper left-hand corner of

the primary monitor.

Normal Recording

The unit records at the normal record speed until an alarm condition is detected. The normal record

speed is indicated on the LCD and can be altered using Up/Down Record Speed, or in the menu

system.

For information about altering the normal record speed from the menu system, see Section 4.5.

The normal record speed can be altered while the unit is recording. The unit continues recording

while the menu system is active.

Alarm Recording

When an alarm condition is detected, the unit automatically switches to the alarm record speed.

The alarm condition is indicated in several ways:

• The word ALARM is displayed on the primary monitor, in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.

• The red LED Alarm Indicator on the front panel of the unit is lit.

• The internal buzzer sounds, if activated via the menu. For information about activating the internal

buzzer during alarms, see Section 4.3.

• By an external device connected to the alarm output of the unit (if the unit is configured with an

alarm output).

• The alarm record speed cannot be changed using Up/Down Record Speed on the front panel; it must be changed

via the menu system. See Section 4.5 for details.

• The front panel LCD displays the record speed during an alarm condition. The unit returns to the normal record

speed once the alarm condition ends.
