SoftDVR™ Lite/Pro User’s Manual Application Settings
2. Normal: The system will show 1 image each time when it receives 2 images, but the recorded
video will record these 2 images. The frame rate ratio of the video for viewing and recording
is 1:2.
3. Better Record: The system will show 1 image each time it receives 3 images, but all three
images will be recorded. The frame rate ratio of the video for viewing and recording is 1:3.
The purpose of Process Priority is to save system resources when viewing what is being recorded.
Users can get better video rate performance for recording video files in Better Record than in
Better View.
NOTE
The video rate performance is affected by many factors. The Process Priority function doesn’t
guarantee the video frame rate for viewing and recording. It just lets the SoftDVR Pro system
handle viewing and recording with the customer’s priority setting. The real frame rate of video
viewing and recording will depend on the status of the system and network resources.
Web Service Settings (SoftDVR™ Pro only)
SoftDVR™ Pro has the Remote Service function that allows client users to access SoftDVR™
Pro from a remote site to view video images, control PTZ cameras, and play historical recorded
files via any web browser. Before activating the Remote Service function from SoftDVR™ Pro’s
Main Window, administrators must set up the port number first to enable web service. The port
number setting is based on the configuration of the network system. If an error message appears
when client users access SoftDVR™ Pro via any web browser, change the port number, or check
with your network administrator about the port setting.
Camera Scan Interval Settings (SoftDVR™ Pro only)
Administrators can set up time intervals to customize camera scan frequency.
Recording
Recording is one of the main functions that SoftDVR™ Lite/Pro provides. Before setting up the
Recording function, administrators need to configure the storage space first on the General
Settings page. There are 4 recording modes for SoftDVR™ Pro: Monitor only, not record,
Round-the-clock, Motion Detection, and Generic Input Trigger. However, SoftDVR™ Lite
only provides Monitor only, not record, Round-the-clock, and Motion Detection modes.
