The main stream is used for video storage. The sub stream is used for video backup and network transmission. ① Resolution There are 5 kinds of optional resolution in main stream menu, 1080P, 720P, D1 (PAL), D1 (NTSC) and AUTO. And there are 3 kinds of optional resolution in sub stream menu, D1 (PAL), D1 (NTSC) and AUTO.
In the options of Bit rate, AUTO is defined as follows. Bit rate Main stream Sub stream If a 1080P camera is connected, the bit rate will be 4Mbps. For a 720P Whatever cameras are connected, the AUTO camera, it’ll be 2Mbps. And for a D1 bit rate will always be 64Kbps.
After the recording (including all types of recording) is set to ON and the recording channel(s) is selected, the corresponding channel(s) will be recorded. If a record channel is turned off, the corresponding channel will not be recorded even if the recording function is on. Note: The configuration above is for normal recording, not for event recording.
Total video file length equals to the pre-recording file length (default time 15s) plus the file length configured in Event Duration. If motion detection is set to OFF, event recording will not be triggered. Motion detection sensitivity can be set to two levels, low or high. Motion detection recording will be on when Low / High is selected.
