Video Encode: the video encode format of the camera.
Resolution: the higher the resolution is, the clearer the image is.
FPS: the higher the frame rate is, the more fluency the video is. However, more storage room
will be taken up.
Bitrate Type: CBR and VBR are optional. CBR means that no matter how changeable the video
resources are, the compression bitrate keeps constant. This will not only facilitate the image
quality better in a constant bitrate but also help to calculate the capacity of the recording. VBR
means that the compression bitrate can be adjustable according to the change of the video
resources. This will help to optimize the network bandwidth.
Quality: When VBR is selected, you need to choose image quality. The higher the image
quality you choose, the more bitrate will be required.
Max Bitrate: 32Kbps ~10240Kbps are optional.
Manual Mode
If the manual mode is selected, you need to set the encode parameters and record schedules of
each camera. See 7.2 Encode Parameters Setting and 7.3 Schedule Setting for details.
7.1.2 Advanced Configuration
Click StartSettingsRecordAdvanced to go to the following interface. Enable or disable
cycle record (cycle record: the earliest record data will be replaced by the latest when the disks
are full). Set the pre-alarm record time, post-alarm record time and expiration time of each
camera and then click “Apply” to save the settings.
