We strongly recommend to backup your programmed configuration before making any changes on Record Mode settings. NOTE: The total PPS is shared by viewing windows (by 4, 8 or 16 windows, depends on the model you have purchased), which means, even one window hasn't connected with a camera and displays no video, that window still wastes pps. But if you select <ezRecord> for setting the unit, those windows with no cameras connected to them will not be recorded, in other words, the pps will not be wasted. 19 User's Manual 3. 5. 2 Schedule Setup The Schedule Setup is used to set the day and night time, or weekend recording schedule.
