When setting the unit for Standard recording the unit will record JPEG images.
To congure the standard record settings:
10. Select the Edit Proles button alongside the Standard Recording drop down box.
11. In the Prole Setup page select the JPEG resolution for High, Medium and Low.
12. Set the Image size for High, Medium and Low (these are set in KB).
13. Save Settings.
14. Return to the Camera and Record Setup page. From the drop down list select the
Standard Recording resolution which corresponds to the settings congured in steps 9
to 12.
15. Enter the required settings in either the record duration or standard record rate (Global
setting).
16. Enter the alarm record rate for when the unit is in an alarm situation (Global setting).
17. Select the alarm recording mode to reect the recording requirements on receipt of an
alarm
18. Enter the video expiry period in days.
19. The unit supports day, night and weekend operation, if this has been enabled within the
Cameras>Schedule function then it is possible to identify the alarm record rate for all
operation modes. An example of dual mode operation is; a system can be in a ‘set’ or
‘unset’ mode or in an ‘Night’ or ‘Day’ mode. Cameras are individually selected in either
or both modes to be available for alarm recording. The Night mode could be identied
as out of hours and Day would be the time during normal working hours. This will
ensure cameras (such as internal cameras) can be disabled when necessary so false
triggers do not occur. Then these cameras would be re-enabled during non-working
hours so the whole site is fully monitored.
20. Within the Record Proles section select Std from the drop down list for cameras
that are to be select for Standard Recording, do this for the Day, Night and Weekend
modes,
21. Select the Edit button along side the cameras enabled for Standard recording to
congure the Pre Alarm Pictures and Pre Alarm Rate settings for each camera.
22. Save the conguration by select Save Settings!
Note: The record duration and standard record rate are inter-connected; changing one of these
settings will automatically update the other. The alarm record rate is not taken into account.
Note: Traditional DVRs can be reviewed remotely at or below the recording pps rate. The DS2
operates differently and, where possible, offers a higher update rate for remote viewing than
the record rate. However, priority will always be given to recording footage to the internal
HDD. Therefore it is recommended that the standard recording is kept below the maximum
settings possible if remote viewing is required, and if recording at 100pps and remote
viewing is necessary, set the le size to 22K or below to maintain a good user response.
