• Video Quality adjusts picture clarity (medium setting = three green squares is
recommended). Medium setting is a balance between good picture and saving HDD space.
• Frame Rate sets recording frame rate (12-15 fps is recommended to save HDD space and
prevent “choppy” video).
• Max Bitrate Mode chooses between pre-set bitrate values and customized values (General
setting is recommended).
• Max Bitrate (KBPS) is the chosen bitrate for streaming the video.
• Max Bitrate Recommended is the recommended bitrate according to the parameters set.
• Record Audio turns audio recording on/off (available only if camera has a connected
microphone or only analog channels 1-4).
• Video Stream changes recording between Main Stream and Sub Stream (requires restart).
