You can program the NVR to run on scheduled recording mode, to record at a specific time of the day or date range.

Equipped with a 2TB hard drive, the Network Video Recorder can record for up to 2 weeks or longer when using the motion detection mode. Using the SwannView app, the recorded videos can be viewed over the Internet on a Mac or PC, or on Android/iOS enabled devices. In addition, you can transfer the recorded footage to a USB flash drive for backup or for archiving for future reference. If your system is set to continuously record, and footage is continually written to the hard drive, the HDD memory will record up to 3 weeks, depending on your setup and placement of cameras. The system has the ability to reduce the quality of recording to extend this recording time for longer. Depending on the activity the system may require more storage space and reduce record time, however, there is a spare hard drive slot for you to install a second hard drive to expand the recording time.??

We hear you asking, is this better than a standard DVR? In one word - Absolutely. The normal DVR's can capture practical footage, however lack detail. These new 3 Megapixels systems allow you to read finer details, including wording on signs and number plates during the day. Edges of buildings, cars, and people look extremely sharp. You are going from around 0.3MegaPixels on the analogue DVR's to 3 Megapixels with the 7300 series NVR. Therefore, images are much clearer. NVR means Network Video Recorder: It sends the image as data from the camera to the recorder allowing for very high definition video signals such as 1080P (1920 x 1080 Pixels) and higher. Usually requires only 1 cable - either a Cat5e or Cat6 Cable (recommend Cat6 where possible). The downside is that this uses much more data and requires larger hard drive sizes however this is a small price to pay for quality CCTV video footage. Maximum cable distance is around 70-100mtrs without a network switch.
