 •RECORDQUALITY
Select the record quality for each camera. Values range from 1-9, with 1 the lowest quality and 9 the
highest quality. The higher the quality setting, the larger the resulting le size because there are more pixels

buttons to select a value from 0 – 30.

 •PRE-RECORDFPS
Pre-Record FPS is the frames per second pre-record rate for each camera when events such as motion,
video loss or alarm inputs trigger the camera to record. For this DVR, the Pre-Record FPS is always the same
as Event Record FPS. Settings for Pre-Record time determine how much time the DVR will record before the
event triggers recording. Please refer to Section 6.2.1, Section 6.2.2 and Section 6.3 for Pre-record time.
 •NORMALRECORDFPS
Unless disabled in the schedule (see Section 6.5), the DVR is always recording. If there is no event
triggering the DVR to record (such as motion or alarm inputs), the DVR is still recording and the recording
is referred to as Normal Record. Set the FPS for each camera to be recorded by pressing +/- buttons to
select the value from a minimum of 0 to a maximum equal to the Event Record setting.
