DVR4C 1 Configuring the DVR4C Unit | en 1 Configuring the DVR4C Unit The DVR4C is a video recording system that can record up to four camera signals with associated audio signals while simultaneously providing live multiscreen viewing and playback. The unit can be easily operated and programmed via the front panel control keys and on-screen display menu system. A monitor output provides full-screen and quad screen viewing. Figure 1.1 DVR4C Front Panel Reference # 1 2 3 4 5 6 2 Function Up Pause (Fast) Reverse Playback (Fast) Forward Playback Stop Stop Channel Indicators Motion Only and Continuous Recording The DVR4C can be set up for Motion Only, Continuous, and Motion Only + Auto Snapshot recording by configuring information in three (3) of the menu tabs: Recording, Profiles, and Event Setup. Motion only recording is used to record only when motion is detected, Continuous recording is used to record non-stop, and Motion Only + Auto Snapshot is used to record only when motion is detected. 2.1 Recording Tab The Recording tab allows the user to set four (4) customized parameters (Weekday Day, Weekday Night, Weekend Day, and Weekend Night) for the time period in which recording is set. For example, a user who has a high traffic store during the weekday may want to set the DVR4C’s Weekday Day tab for Superior quality with 15 IPS. In addition, if the user does not have much traffic or the store is closed on weekday nights, the user may set the Weekday Night tab to Medium quality with 7.5 IPS. The event and pre-event recording times are used to define the specified amount of time that the DVR4C records when an event is detected. For example, if the user sets the Event Recording Time to Follows, the DVR4C begins to record as soon as motion is detected and stops recording when the motion has stopped. The user may also set the Pre-event Recording Time. For example, if the user sets the Pre-event Recording Time to 10 seconds, the DVR4C records for 10 seconds prior to the event. Note that a pre-event time for alarm events is only applicable when no normal recordings are made (normal recording set to 0 IPS). Bosch Security Systems, Inc.
