QUALITY
The EX4 DVR uses MPEG-4 video
compression to extend the recording time on
the hard drive. The Quality option lets you
choose the amount a picture is compressed
versus the amount of memory the picture
takes up on the hard drive. A higher picture
quality (6) means lower compression and a
higher memory requirement. A lower
picture quality (1) means higher
compression.

RECORD AUDIO By turning Record Audio to OFF, no signal
is recorded from the audio inputs. This
feature is useful if no microphones are being
used as hard drive memory space is not used
to record unnecessary audio channels. At
slow record speeds, this can amount to a
considerable savings.
