This menu allows you to configure the channel recording parameters.
This menu allows you to configure the recorded video parameters. All the modifications you apply to these settings will affect the recorded video saved into the HDD.
• Channel: Select the channel to set its recording parameters.
• Record Switch: Enable in order to allow the video to be recorded to the HDD.
• Stream Mode: Choose the recording resolution. The available options are Mainstream and
Substream.
• PreRecord: If this option is enabled, the DVR starts recording a few seconds before an event
occurs. Use this option if your primary recording type is motion based.
• Channel: Select the channel to configure recording related information.
• Resolution: This parameter defines, how large the recorded image will be.
• FPS: This parameter defines the number of frames per second the DVR will record.
• Bitrate Control: Select the bitrate level based on the complexity of the scene. For a simple scene,
such as a gray wall is suitable constant bitrate (CBR). For more complex scene, such as a busy
street is suitable variable bitrate (VBR).
• Bitrate Mode: If you want to set the bitrate by yourself, then choose User-defined mode. If you
want to select the predefined bitrate, choose Predefined mode.
• Bitrate: This parameter corresponds to the speed of data transfer that the DVR will use to record
video. Recordings that are encoded at higher bitrates, will be of better quality.
• AMR: Set the motion based video recording frame rate and data transfer speed parameters. (Not
available for IP cameras).
• Audio: Select this option if you want to record audio along with video and have a microphone
connected to the DVR or using a camera with audio capability (not included). Since the audio
option is only available for the channels 1 to 4, you need to connect a camera with audio
capability to these channels. (Audio option is currently not supported).
