Record: Parameters - Record

The Parameters func-
tion allows you to change
the resolution and bi-
trate for each camera
connected. By default
the recording resolution
is automatically select-
ed to fit in with the ca-
pabilities of the provided
cameras.
Camera:
Select a camera that you would like to edit.
Camera Resolution: Displays the camera's recording resolution.
Encoding Parameters:
You can change settings for both Continuous and
Event recording (we recommend to have the same settings for both).
Stream Type: By default "Video" is selected. Select "Video & Audio" if you
have an audio source connected to your DVR's audio input.
Resolution:
By default the recording resolution is automatically selected to
match the capabilities of the provided cameras, however you can change to a
lower resolution if needed.
Frame Rate: The number of frames per second (fps) that your DVR will re-
cord. The default is 12fps but can be changed to 6fps if needed.
Video Quality:
The amount of data (bitrate) your DVR will use to record vid-
eo. The higher the bitrate, the more space each recording will consume on
Click for contents
the hard drive. The default setting will suit most situations, however you can
change the bitrate if needed.
Enable H.264+: By default, your DVR utilises SVC (Scalable Video Coding)
as a coding method to record video. H.264+ however, has some differences
when compared to SVC. When enabled, you can change the maximum aver-
age bitrate for both Continuous and Event recording. This may result in less
hard drive space used when recording (before older videos are automatically
overwritten) and will consume less bandwidth when using the remote play-
back feature in the SwannView Plus app.
Click the checkbox to enable then click "Apply". A message will appear on-
screen stating that H.264+ and SVC is not supported simultaneously. Click
"Yes" to reboot your DVR.
