CAMERA 1 to
CAMERA 4 QUALITY
The EX4 DVR uses MPEG-4 video
compression to extend the recording time
on the hard drive. The picture quality
option lets you trade off the amount a
picture is compressed versus the amount
of memory the picture takes up on the
hard drive.
For example, a higher picture quality (6)
means lower compression and therefore a
higher memory requirement. A lower
picture quality (1) means higher
compression. See Table 3-5, “Picture
quality settings” on page 3–10.
