How to set Motion Recording
DVR Records continuously by default and when hard drive is full, it will overwrite. To set only motion
recording, there are two menu settings that need to be adjusted: Record configurations and Motion detection
settings.
1. Access "Main Menu" >> Record >> Record Conf.
First choose the channel, for which these settings will apply. You can apply these settings either for All
channels or if it is only for specific channels (ex, 3, 5, 7), the settings will need to adjust for each channel
individually. After selecting the channel, uncheck the box under “Regular”, and leave “Detect” and “Alarm”
checked. Click “OK” to apply.
2. Access "Main Menu" >> Alarm >> Motion Detect
First choose the specific channel (or all channels, if settings apply to all cameras), for which these settings will
apply. You can apply it either for All channels or if it is only for specific channels (ex, 3, 5, 7), the settings will
need to adjust for each channel individually. After selecting the channel, check “enable” box to enable motion
detection. Make sure under “Record channel” only that specific channel is selected (highlighted in white). Click
OK to apply. See below image:
