13 SET UP RECORDING (continued)
T Record Quality
• Main Stream
1. Go to RECORDING CONFIGURATION > RECORD QUALITY > MAIN STREAM.
- Stream Type enables/disables audio streaming from the cameras (if the camera does
not have audio capabilities, Stream Type will have only Video option).
- Resolution sets recording resolution.
- Bitrate Type:
> Variable saves HDD space
> Constant provides more stable stream
- Video Quality adjusts clarity (high = four green squares is default). Use highest if HDD
allows. Medium setting is balance between good image and saving HDD space.
- Frame Rate sets recording frame rate (8 fps on continuous and 15 fps on motion by
default). Higher rates require more storage, but allow better slow motion playback.
- Max Bitrate Mode chooses between pre-set and custom values (General is default).
- Max Bitrate (kbps) is chosen bitrate for streaming video. Adjust Max Bitrate to meet or
exceed the rate recommended by the system for the chosen parameters.
- Max Bitrate Recommended is impacted by resolution, quality, and frame rate.
- Record Audio turns on audio recording. Requires external mic or built-in camera mic.
- Video Stream determines which stream is recorded. Leave at default (Main Stream).
• Substream
1. Go to RECORDING CONFIGURATION > RECORD QUALITY > SUBSTREAM to set up
the Sub Stream to stream to mobile devices and display multiple cameras locally.
NOTE: If speed is insufficient, lower frame rate, bitrate, and/or resolution.
