Standard Recording

This page is used to configure cameras for standard recording, where all cameras will adopt

the same recording profile. More customised camera set-up is undertaken in Variable Rate

Recording.

The unit can share a maximum rate of 50pps PAL (20ms), 60pps NTSC between all cameras.

Record Resolution - Definable as 768x576, 768x288, 720x256, 640x576, 640x256 or

352x288 pixels. The greater the resolution, the more detailed the images. The x576

resolutions record both image interlaces.

At very high record rates, the viewing resolutions should be the same as the record

resolution, otherwise the picture may not display correctly in the live view. E.g. recording at

50pps (20ms) requires the viewing resolution in Live view to be the same as the record

resolution i.e. if you are recording at 768x288 resolution and a 35k image size, hi-res in the

viewing resolutions should be set to the same, and viewing undertaken in Hi-Res.

Image Size - From 5KB to 35 KB. The higher the image file size, the better the quality of the

image. Very low image sizes will be blocky, and smaller details may be difficult to view.

Note – larger image file sizes will reduce the amount of time images are stored on the unit

before being overwritten.

Record Duration - The total record time available in (DD) Days and (HH) Hours. This

indicates the storage capacity of the system without any alarm recording. This is estimated

from size of video storage, the standard record rate and the requested target size of the

recorded images. Changing the Record Duration will automatically update the Standard

Record Rate. Changing the Standard Record Rate will likewise update the Record

Duration.

Standard Record Rate – The standard record rate is the common pictures per second

setting that all cameras will adopt unless otherwise defined in Variable Record Rate, or in

event instances. The Standard Record rate is set in milliseconds (ms). The delay between

consecutive images from any one camera is the Standard Record Rate multiplied by the

number of cameras being recorded. Changing the Standard Record Rate will automatically
