Mainstream Tab

The Mainstream Tab allows you to customize the quality of your recordings. Here you can change the
Resolution, the Frames per Second (FPS), the Bitrate, as well as enable audio recording if you have
audio-enabled cameras.

Resolution

Measures the sharpness of the image. The higher
the resolution, the sharper the image will appear. A
higher resolution uses more space when storing on
the HDD.

Frames Per Second (FPS)

The FPS settings are adjustable. A higher FPS will result in smoother and better quality recorded video while
lower FPS will result in a choppy video, however it will use less space on the HDD. To adjust the frame rate of
recorded video follow these steps:
1. Find the channel that you wish to adjust the FPS.
2. Scroll through the list (1 to 30) and the FPS you
wish to record on that channel.
3. Select APPLY to save settings.

Audio

To record audio a separate microphone needs to
be connected to the DVR. This microphone must
have its own dedicated power supply.
1. Check the AUDIO BOX next to the channel you
want audio enabled (your camera must have
audio recording capabilities).
2. Uncheck the AUDIO BOX next to the channel
you want audio disabled.
3. Select APPLY to save settings.
Note:
Higher quality and resolution settings use up more space on
your hard drive.
