Parameter  Description 
Coding Strategy 
General: Uses general coding strategy. 
Smart Codec: Enables  the smart codec function. This function can 
reduce the video bit stream for non-important recorded video to 
maximize the storage space. 
AI Codec: Enables the AI codec function. This function can reduce the 
video bit stream for non-important recorded video to maximize the 
storage space. 
Type 
Main Stream: In the Type list, select General, Motion, or Alarm. 
Sub Stream: This setting is not configurable. 
Compression 
In the Compression list, select the encode mode. 
H.265: Main profile encoding. This setting is recommended.
H.264H: High profile encoding. Low bit stream with high definition.
H.264: General profile encoding.
H.264B: Baseline profile encoding. This setting requires higher bit
stream compared with other settings for the same definition.
Resolution 
In the Resolution list, select resolution for the video. 
The maximum video resolution might be different dependent on your 
device model. 
Frame Rate (FPS) 
Configure the frames per second for the video. The higher the value, the 
clearer and smoother the image will become. Frame rate changes along 
with the resolution. 
Generally, in PAL format, you can select the value from 1 through 25; in 
NTSC format, you can select the value from 1 through 30. However, the 
specific range of frame rate that you can select depends on the capability 
of the Device. 
Quality 
This function is available if you select VBR in the Bit Rate List. 
The higher the value, the better the image will become. 
I Frame Interval  The interval between two reference frames. 
Bit Rate (Kb/S) 
In the Bit Rate list, select a value or enter a customized value to change 
the image quality. The bigger the value is, the better the image will 
become. 
Video  Enable the function for sub stream. 
Audio 
Click More, the More interface is displayed.

to manually enable it for sub stream 1. Once this function is enabled, 
the recorded video file is composite audio and video stream. 
Audio Source: In the Audio Source  list, you can select LOCAL  and 
HDCVI. 
  LOCAL: The audio signal is input from Audio input port. 
  HDCVI: The audio signal is input from HDCVI camera. 
Audio Format: In the Compression list, select a format that you need.
