Record & Cameras - Q-See QT Series User Manual

4.3 RECORD & CAMERAS
Depending on your model, your NVR will record at 720p and/or 1080p resolution. There are
five sets of options; Enable, Record Bitrate, Time, Stamp and Recycle Record.
Enable Tab
Select some or all of the cameras to record
to the NVR. Depending on your NVR model,
you can set up to 16 cameras to record
audio in addition to video. This will require
cameras equipped with microphones or
separate microphones connected to the
camera(s). You can globally select all the
cameras regardless of their individual settings
by selecting the All box below each column.
Record Bitrate Tab
Set up the resolution, quality, encoding,
quality and maximum bitrate of the video
stream according to your needs. You can set
each camera individually, or globally by using
the All function at the bottom of the window.
NOTE! While each camera can have its resolution and frame rate set
independently of the other cameras, the NVR may limit the frame rate available to
a camera based on the settings of other cameras.

What it Means
D1 = Full TV resolution, this is an option available on
some cameras and can be used when bandwith is limited
in order to get a smooth video stream from remote
cameras.
720P, 1080P = HD resolutions.
Frames per second. More frames makes for smoother
video but takes up more room on the hard drive.
Variable Bit Rate versus Constant Bit Rate. VBR provides
better image quality for video with motion in it, but at the
potential expense of a larger file size, based on settings.
Only available when VBR is selected. The higher the
quality, the more drive space required. CBR's default
setting is for higher quality.
This sets the maximum bitrate that each camera will
record at with VBR encoding selected.
