operations:
Camera No – Press the Numeric to select the camera.
PTZ ID – the PTZ ID of this camera if it’s a PTZ camera. The PTZ ID has to be consistent
with the setting of this camera. Please refer to the manual of the camera for the ID
setting. Change the value (N/A, 0-255 for RS-485, or non-485 for IP-CAM or
data-over-coax). The default setting is “N/A” – Not Available, which means that it’s
not a PTZ camera.
All Cameras:
Compression (Analog only) – Compression ratio of Normal or High. High compression
ratio will result in smaller storage size, and hence longer recording time; but the
Normal Record IPS will always be the same as Event Record IPS in Camera Setup, and
Dual Streaming will always be used for network video. (This option is not available for
IP camera.)
Watermark – to record with digital watermark or not. If yes, all the recorded images
for all the cameras will have digital watermark embedded.
Note: For the record data with the digital watermark, if the data is falsified, no matter
whether the file is played locally or remotely when it is played to the time of the
tampering, a warning message will pop up "File is corrupted or falsified. Do you want to
continue? ".
