NOTE
The maximum recording speed of each camera group will be limited to 100 ips when set to
Standard
resolution, 50 ips when set to High resolution and 25 ips when set to Very High resolution
for all
cameras.
When set to High resolution for all cameras within the same camera group, the DVR records video
from each camera as fast as possible according to the preset recording speed within the total ips of
each camera group. When the total ips are higher than the maximum recording speed of the camera
group, the ips of each camera might decrease so as not to exceed the maximum recording speed. For
example, if set to High resolution for all cameras within the same camera group of the 8-channel
model DVR, 15 ips for Time recording and 25 ips for Event recording, the event-driven video from one
camera will be recorded at 20 ips and the video from the three other cameras will be recorded at 10
ips each when events are detected by one camera.
The maximum recording speed per camera will be 6 ips per camera when set to On and Very High
resolution for four cameras in the same camera group of the 16-channel DVR. See the table below.
