Function Description
Pictures/Second / milliseconds This allows the record settings to be congured as either Pictures
Per Second or Milliseconds
Standard Recording This is the resolution and image size of the images that will
be recorded to hard disk for the cameras that are selected for
standard recording and are edited in the prole setup page.
The options are High, Medium or Low.
Video Expiry Period This indicates the maximum time any images can be stored on the
hard disk, if the record duration is greater than the video expiry
period the images will automatically be over written
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
congured for day, night and weekend operation modes.
Standard Record Rate This is global setting and identies 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 identies the alarm recording rate, for the mode of operation
being congured (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 congured to increase the recording rate when a door
contact is triggered.
Alarm Record Mode This identies what kind of alarm will trigger the alarm record
rate to activate. It is selectable between None, Alarms, Activity, or
Alarms and Activity (both).
Record Proles These drop down boxes allow the selection of either Standard
or Prole recording. Selecting Standard recording will apply the
settings selected for standard recording to the corresponding
camera.
Edit This will display the Prole Selector sub menu to allow the Pre
alarm data to be set for each camera.
Note: Reducing the le size will allow more data to be transmitted across the network, it is
important to remember reducing the le size will require the compression applied to be
increased and this will affect the quality of the image.
Note: Prole Recording is covered in the Advanced Conguration section of this manual.
