Recording type
Type of recording From the drop-down box, select one of the following recording modes:
• Continuous recording—Allows the NVR300 to record continuously.
• Event recording—Allows the NVR300 to provide recording of only alarm input, motion alarm,
video loss, and unified picture events including pre-alarm and post-alarm time as specified in the
event recording section of the dialog box. (Information about programming the event recording
section of the dialog box is provided in the Event recording section of this table.)
The default setting is continuous recording.
Note the following:
• If desired, you can schedule a continuous or event recording on a weekly basis by using the
recording scheduler feature of the NVR300. (Information about programming the recording
scheduler section of the dialog box is provided in the Recording scheduler section of this table.)
• The NVR300 begins overwriting recordings beginning with the oldest recording files when the
remaining hard disk drive capacity reaches 12.5%. If the remaining hard disk drive capacity has
not yet reached 12.5%, the NVR300 begins overwriting recordings when the specified retention
time is reached (refer to Retention time below).
Retention time Specify the desired amount of time for the recording to remain stored on the NVR300.
The default setting is 7 days.
NOTE: Regardless of the specified retention time, the NVR300 begins overwriting recordings when
the remaining hard disk drive capacity reaches 12.5%.
Use Automatic Data
Replenishment
When the NVR300 is connected to the PelcoNet NET350T, Automatic Data Replenishment (ADR)
ensures complete NVR300 video recordings if the network temporarily fails or if the NVR300 goes
down. (For an overview of ADR and for ADR setup instructions, refer to the Appendix.)
Select the Use Automatic Data Replenishment check box to enable ADR.
Note the following:
• ADR currently is supported only when the type of recording is continuous recording (see above).
ADR is not supported when the type of recording is event recording.
• ADR is selectable only when a PelcoNet NET350T device equipped with local storage capability
(CompactFlash card or microdrive) is detected by the NVR300; otherwise, the Use Automatic
Data Replenishment check box appears gray and cannot be selected.
• Only video can be recorded onto the local storage medium of the PelcoNet NET350T device—
audio cannot be recorded.
• The PelcoNet NET4001A and NET300T do not have local recording capability and therefore do
not support ADR.
ADR is deselected by default.*
