• Channel: Select the channel to congure recording related informaon.
• Resoluon: This parameter denes, how large the recorded image will be.
• FPS: This parameter denes the number of frames per second the DVR will record.
• Bitrate Control: Select the bitrate level based on the complexity of the scene. For a simple scene,
such as a gray wall is suitable constant bitrate (CBR). For more complex scene, such as a busy
street is suitable variable bitrate (VBR).
• Bitrate Mode: If you want to set the bitrate by yourself, then choose User-dened mode. If you
want to select the predened bitrate, choose Predened mode.
• Bitrate: This parameter corresponds to the speed of data transfer that the DVR will use to record
video. Recordings that are encoded at higher bitrates, will be of beer quality.
• Audio: Select this opon if you want to record audio along with video and have a microphone
connected to the DVR or using a camera with audio capability (not included). Since the audio
opon is only available for the channels 1 to 4, you need to connect a camera with audio
capability to these channels.
