The resolution of 960 × 1080 (1080P Lite) is avaiable when the 1080P Lite is enabled in the
Record>Advanced Settings interface (refer to Chapter5.11 Configuring 1080P Lite).
Please refer to the Appendix-Specifications for the supported resolutions of different models.
3. Check the checkbox of Enable H.264+ to enable this function. Enabling it helps to ensure the high video
quality with a lowered bitrate.
After enabling the H.264+, the Max. Bitrate Mode, Max. Bitrate(Kbps) and Max. Bitrate Range
Recommend are not configurable.
The H.264+ can not be used with the SVC at the same time.

• Pre-record: The time you set to record before the scheduled time or event. For example, when an
alarm triggered the recording at 10:00, if you set the pre-record time as 5 seconds, the camera records it
at 9:59:55.
• Post-record: The time you set to record after the event or the scheduled time. For example, when an
alarm triggered the recording ends at 11:00, if you set the post-record time as 5 seconds, it records till
11:00:05.
• Expired Time: The time for keeping the record files in the HDDs, once exceeded, the files will be
deleted. The files will be saved permanently if the value is set as 0. The actual keeping time for the files
