Record: Encoding - Record
Camera: Select a camera that you would like to edit.
Resolution: Displays the Main Stream resolution for both Continuous
and Event recording (we recommend to have the same settings for both).
Stream Type: By default “Video” is selected. Select “Video & Audio” if
you have an audio source connected to the DVR’s audio input.
Frame Rate: The frame rate is determined by the cameras included with
the DVR as well as the number of video inputs available. For 960H (960
x 576 PAL, 960 x 480 NTSC) cameras, 10fps is the maximum frame rate
available. Full Frame (25 or 30fps) is available on the lower resolution
(720 x 576 PAL, 720 x 480 NTSC).
Video Quality: The amount of data the DVR will use to record video. Low-
ering the quality reduces the file size of each video saved.
Pre-record: The Pre-record function reduces the chance of an Event not
being recorded. It is recommended to change this to 10 seconds (10s).
Post-record: Same as above but the DVR will continue recording after
an Event has occurred. 30 seconds (30s) is the recommended length.
Expired Time (day): Determines how long the video footage will remain
on the hard drive without it being overwritten.
Record Audio: Click the checkbox to enable when selecting “Video &
Audio” for the Stream Type.
