What to do if my Samsung DVR image quality of recording data is not good?
To improve the recording image quality on your Samsung DVR, increase the resolution and quality level in Menu – Record – Quality / Resolution. 1) For Resolution: Choose a larger size when specifying the recording size (720P/1080P>WD1>4CIF>2CIF>CIF). CIF format images may appear deteriorated when enlarged due to their small size. 2) For Record Quality: Select a higher level for the recording quality. Note that increasing resolution and quality will increase the data size, filling the HDD faster and potentially overwriting data at shorter intervals.
