3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Video Recording and Storage
The NVR comes with a 2TB HDD pre-installed, supporting 24/7 continuous recording. The system utilizes H.265+ video compression technology, which significantly reduces file size while maintaining video quality, effectively doubling the storage capacity compared to H.264.
Figure 3.1: H.265+ compression offers improved storage efficiency.
When the HDD is full, the system automatically overwrites the oldest recordings to ensure continuous operation without manual deletion.

3.2 Motion Detection and Auto-Tracking
The cameras are equipped with AI-powered motion detection, capable of distinguishing between humans, vehicles, pets, and packages. When motion is detected, the system can automatically track the moving object within the camera's field of view.
Figure 3.3: Auto-tracking feature follows detected movement.
The dome-type cameras feature a horizontal pan of 355° and a vertical tilt of 90°, allowing for 360° coverage. After tracking, the camera will return to its original monitoring position once the detected object leaves the area.

3.3 Night Vision Modes
The cameras offer enhanced night vision capabilities with four LED lights, providing clear images even in low-light conditions. There are three primary night vision modes:
- Full-Color Night Vision: When human motion is detected in the dark, the camera's LED lights activate, providing a vivid, full-color image.
- Infrared Night Vision: Provides clear black-and-white images in complete darkness using infrared illumination.
- Smart Night Vision: The camera operates in infrared mode by default and switches to full-color mode upon detection of human movement.
