ABOUT YOUR DIGITAL VIDEO SYSTEM
The DigiMux records images to a hard disk drive for storage and retrieval. The
maximum record time available for a DigiMux depends on many factors, such as hard
disk capacity, recording rate, and image quality settings. The greater the recording
rate and the higher the quality setting, the shorter the recording time.
About Recording Rate
The recording rate is the number of images recorded each second to the hard drive.
Recording rate is expressed in images, or pictures, per second (IPS or PPS). On a
DigiMux system, all of the cameras record at the same rate, so the system-wide
recording rate is divided equally among the number of cameras.
The update rate is the time interval required before each camera is updated during
recording or playback. The update rate per camera is expressed in the following
formula, using the recording rate:
For example, if the recording rate is 1 ips with four cameras installed, the update rate
would be four seconds. Each camera is then updated every four seconds.
