Unset/Set/Override Normal Shows the recording prole used by the camera if no Timed
Schedules are applied and the camera is operating under Normal
(non Event) conditions. Refer to ‘Schedule’ for further information.
Unset/Set/Override Event Shows the recording quality that will be used by the camera
during an Alarm or Event. Note that Set and Override schedules
will be used only when Timed Schedules are applied. Refer to
‘Schedule’ for further information.
Note: When Turbo mode is selected, there will be only ONE congurable Record Prole
across ALL cameras. The unit then matches the live transmission rate to the congured
record rate. This enables a ‘doubling’ of performance. Only the ‘Low’ and ‘Medium’
Live Transmission proles are available for conguration (Network Settings->Live
Transmissions). Low and Medium transmission settings are congurable to allow video
streaming over low bandwith IP connections and are limited to CIF for this purpose.
Note: Unset, Set and Override modes can be given more recognisable titles i.e. Day, Night,
Weekend via the Schedule menu (Record Settings->Schedule).
Comp Select image compression format (MPEG, JPEG, H264).
Res Select image resolution format (QCIF, CIF, 2CIF or 4CIF).
Rate_kbps If MPEG4 is selected, the gure entered here will be the bit rate
allocated. A higher bit rate will provide better quality. MPEG bit
rates can be entered within the range of 45-2500K bits/second.
IMPORTANT: The bit rate allocation here will be limited to a maximum rate (limit dependant on
model). For 8 and 16 channel units, the limit is 2048 per camera. For 32 channel
units, the limit is 1024 per camera.
Size If JPEG is selected, the gure entered here will be the size of the
JPEG transmitted (in Kbytes). JPEG le sizes can be congured
within the range of 5-45Kbytes.
PPS Select the number of pictures recorded per second.
GOP If using MPEG4 recording, select the number of images
recorded within a GOP (Group of Pictures). A GOP consists of
an I-Frame (keyframe) and following P frames.
Note: The GOP is also the rewind interval and stop interval for MPEG recording playback.
Note: An MPEG I-frame is considerably larger than a P-frame. Therefore the lower the GOP
ratio, the higher the disk space required to store recorded images.
