To configure the standard record settings
10. The record duration and standard record rate are inter-connected; changing one of these
settings will automatically update the other.
11. Enter the information in either the record duration or standard record rate. These are global
settings across all cameras for the schedule period being edited.
Either
Enter the Record Duration for when the unit in the selected schedule period
Or
Enter the Standard Record Rate for the selected schedule period.
12. Select the alarm recording mode to reflect the recording requirement on receipt of an alarm.
13. Select the Event Active option from the drop down list
Note: Running the unit at maximum Record Rate (25pps or 40ms in Standard Record Settings)
will affect viewing and network transmission, as the video codecs will be operating close
to capacity - the unit’s priority is to record the footage to the internal HDD, so transmission
performance will be reduced. This is exhibited by slow connection to the html pages and
reduced viewing frame rates. Multi-user viewing will also be affected. It is not recommended
to set the Standard Record rate to 20ms for everyday usage, but rather only for specific
situations where this rate is necessary.
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. It is estimated from size of video storage, the standard
record rate and the requested target size of the recorded images.
Note: Changing the Record Duration will automatically update the
Standard Record Rate. Changing the Standard Record Rate will
likewise update the Record Rate. This should be configured for
day, night and weekend operation modes.
Standard Record Rate This is global setting and identifies the ‘common pictures per
second’ for all enabled video inputs in non alarm mode. This can
be set in milliseconds or the number of pictures per second.
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 update the Record Duration. Changing the Record
Duration will likewise change the Standard Record Rate.
Example Record Rates 40ms = 25 pictures per second
50ms = 20pps
100ms =10 pps
125ms = 8pps
200ms = 5 pps
500ms = 2pps
1000ms = 1pps
Alarm Record Rate This identifies the alarm recording rate, for the mode of operation
being configured (i.e. Day, Night and Weekend mode), which will
be activated if an alarm is triggered on the unit. For example, the
unit may be configured to increase the recording rate when a door
contact is triggered.
Event Active This identifies what kind of alarm will trigger the alarm record
rate to activate. It is selectable between None, Alarms, Activity, or
Alarms and Activity (both).
