3. The recording function and the pre-record function for all channels are enabled by default, and the stream mode is set to Dual Stream. You can modify these settings and then click the 'Apply' button to save your changes.

Tip: If you want to save HDD storage, you can change the recording stream mode to mainstream only instead of dual stream. However, by doing this, you won't be able to play back many channels simultaneously during playback.

Stream Mode: Select the recording quality. If you choose Dual-Stream, the system will record in both Main-stream and Sub-stream.

PreRecord: When enabled, the NVR will begin recording a few seconds before an alarm event occurs. This feature is particularly useful if your primary recording mode is based on motion detection or I/O alarms
