VBR means that the compression bitrate will be adjusted according scene
changes. For example, for scenes that do not have much movement, the bitrate
will be kept at a lower value. 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.
Pre-alarm Record Time: set the time to record before the actual recording
begins.
Post-alarm Record Time: set the time to record after the actual recording is
finished.
Expiration Time: set the expiration time for recorded video. If the set date is
overdue, the recorded data will be deleted automatically.
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.
