Notes
How this limit is enforced depends on whether or not
the Continuous checkbox is enabled.
These fields are dependent on the chosen Mode. The
number of record stream numbers listed depends on
which series is selected.
The N1000, N2000, and N2400 series each have one
recording channel. The N1000's recording channel
can only record one stream, whereas the N2000 can
record two streams on that one channel (dual
recording). The N3000 has ten recording channels,
and each channel can only record one stream.
This selection is dependent on which Mode you are in
(i.e., which series you are recording from).
In N1000 mode, this field is not applicable.

In N2000 mode, you can select 1 for channel 1 or

dual to record both streams.
In N3000 mode, there will be ten different

channels to select.
If Continuous is not enabled, the recording will

simply end after the Time entered has been
reached (see the Time field description earlier in
this chapter).
If Continuous is enabled, the NVR will continue

recording after the Time entered. However, it will
only create a recording matching the designated
length of time. In other words, if Time is set to 10
minutes and the recording continues for 40
minutes, you will only capture the last 10 minutes
of that recording.
The higher the bitrate, the higher the quality (and the
larger the file) of the conversion. The default is
7500 kbps.
