< Pre-Alarm Recording >
This item is used to set the recording duration of pre-alarm video. The pre-alarm recording
function aims to allow users to view a complete event video. What users can view is not
only the video recorded after the alarm is triggered, but also the video recorded few
seconds before the alarm is triggered.
When an event is triggered while normal recording is in effect, the unit will start copying the
pre-alarm and the post-alarm video to the event video. The pre-alarm duration can be set
from 0~30 seconds. The quality of the pre-alarm video is the same as the quality setting for
normal record video; and the quality of the post-alarm video is the same as the quality
setting for event record video.
