Standard Recording Schedule
The record rate and the image size determine how long cameras can be recorded for and the
update rate for each camera. Settings can be applied to day, night and weekend schedules.
The maximum record rate for the unit (Standard and Alarm) is 100PPS for PAL standard cameras
and 120PPS for NTSC standard cameras. This rate is spread across all connected cameras.
The screen displayed for the Standard Record settings will depend on whether the Schedule Rate is
enabled and the Schedule function has been enabled for Day, Night and Weekend Operation mode.
With the Schedule Rate function disabled, the record rate is the permanent record rate for the
cameras enabled for recording.
Note:
The standard record rates set for each of the operation modes are the number of pictures
per second across all cameras enabled in standard recording.
