hard-disk drive will normally be filled in 3.7 hours  
(see the gray area in the table). If the total  
capacity of 80GB hard-disk drives is in use under  
the same refresh rate and picture quality, it will be  
filled in 14.8 hours (4 times the rate of a 20GB  
hard-disk drive).  
This section shows you how to operate and  
manage the DVR when it gets in the way.  
3.1 Configuring Recording  
Settings  
Recording time will vary depending on the image  
size, recording rate, and the capacity of the  
hard-disk drives. Generally, the DVR comes with  
a built-in hard-disk drive for continuous recording  
from one to four weeks under most recording  
conditions. The table below shows the possible  
recording times based on a 20GB hard-disk drive  
at certain refresh rates and the corresponding  
image quality. With one or more hard-disk drives  
in operation, please calculate the recording time  
using the table below in accordance with your  
requirement. For an NTSC unit, for example, if  
the unit is set to record images with BEST quality  
at a 30 fps record rate, normally a 20GB  
NOTE:  
1. Recording times on the tables below are  
estimated. For the actual available recording  
time of a recording configuration, refer to the  
system information of the DVR. (Please refer to  
section 2.3 system information for more  
details.)  
2. There is no audio function at the refresh rate  
in NTSC: 1.2 fields/sec ~ 1 fields/ 16 sec. There  
is no audio function at the refresh rate in PAL:

pick one for use from the range of the IP. It’s  
not necessary to set MASK and GATEWAY;  
leave the settings as default.  
When a DVR is connected to a WAN, you must  
acquire a unique, permanent IP address and  
correctly configure the MASK and GATEWAY  
settings  
according  
to
