5.3.5 Recording Frame Rate

In this window, users can choose the recording frame rate (frames per second) for the current
channel. The higher the recording frame rate, the more natural the movement seen in playback
mode will seem. Select a recording frame rate depending on the how carefully the activity in
the video needs to be monitored. It is possible to adjust each channel frame rate independently.
For the PAL video output format, the system's default resolution is CIF, and the system's
default frame rate is 25 frames per second with each channel; this means the system will record
100 frames per second with all channels running (if there are four channels that are all
recording). Users can set the frame rate from 1 to 25 frames per second for each channel. The
maximum value of total frames recorded per second with all channels is 200 frames with CIF
resolution for 4-ch or 8-ch DVRs and 400 frames with CIF resolution for 16-ch DVRs.
For the NTSC video output format, the system's default resolution is CIF and the system's
default frame rate is 30 frames per second for each channel, which means the system will
record 120 frames per second with all channels running (if there are four channels that are all
recording). Users can set the frame rate from 1 to 30 frames per second for each channel. The
maximum value of total frames recorded per second with all channels is 240 frames with CIF
resolution with 4-ch or 8-ch DVRs and 480 frames with CIF resolution for 16-ch DVRs.

5.3.6 Record Audio

"OPEN" indicates that the audio recording for all channels is enabled; "CLOSE" indicates that
audio recording is disabled.

5.3.7 Recording Pack Time

There are four options: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, and 60 minutes. It will pack as the
mode selected when alarm recording is disabled.

5.3.8 Recording Modes

There are two recording modes: "ALWAYS" and "SCHEDULE."
ALWAYS: In this mode, the DVR will automatically begin recording when it is turned on.
SCHEDULE: This setup function
allows users to create a schedule for
recording tasks throughout the week,
so that only certain selected events
are actually recorded on the HDD.
For example, users can set up the
system to record non-stop only during
the business hours, and to run
alarm-triggered recording at lunch
time (which means no recording will
take place unless an alarm-triggering
event happens), and to run
motion-detection recording with
