MultiMode recording offers the ability to set different recording rates, resolutions and compression across
scheduled, normal and alarm modes, or to mix a standard setting for many cameras with individual settings for
particular cameras and time of day. By varying the quality (bitrate) of the recorded image, users can increase
recording capability of the unit.
The unit provides a Prole Wizard via the web pages which guides you through the conguration of MultiMode
in simple steps. It can also be congured using the OSD.

The settings within this menu can be congured in either the number of Pictures Per Second or Milliseconds.
Using the move the cursor to the PPS option, use to select ms (milliseconds).

Record Operation
This allows the record, alarm rate and alarm pictures to be determined when variable recording is enabled. The
options available are:
• Off - Camera not recording.
• Standard - uses settings applied within the Standard Record menu.
• Prole - allows an individual prole to be selected for each camera
Normal Prole
Note: This is only active when the Record Operation is set to Prole.
This identies the recording prole for the unit in non-alarm (normal) mode. Use the keys to scroll through the
available options, these are:
MPEG01 to MPEG12
JPEG01 to JPEG12
When this option is highlighted additional information will displayed on the screen and it is also possible to
access the edit prole screen by pressing the PLAY button, see below for more information.
Note:
If the unit is to be used for alarm recording only you will need to select a JPEG prole in the
normal prole setting and set the pictures per second of that prole to 0PPS. MPEG allows the PPS
to be set between 1 to 25PPS (30PPS NTSC).
