3.4 Record Settings
If you use the default configuration supplied (which may be reloaded at any time from a USB memory
stick), recording will be enabled for all cameras at Medium quality at a default frame rate.
To adjust record setting to suit your application, enter the Record menu by pressing MENU key and
selecting the Record menu. The most important things that need to be set are outlined in the following
sections.
3.4.1 Schedule
For most applications, make sure the schedule is enabled for all connected cameras and for all times
of each day. This is indicated by all blocks being BLUE. If you need to set the whole schedule:
• Select Enable Schedule
• Click
Edit
• Select
All Day
• Select
Copy
• Select
All
• Click
OK
• Click on Apply
• Click on OK
• Click on Apply
Note : If some of the 16 camera inputs are not used, make sure the schedule for those inputs are
disabled so disc space is not wasted.
3.4.2 Resolution
Resolution determines the number pixels recorded. For analogue (BNC) cameras the recommended
setting to use is either 2CIF or 4CIF.
Resolution Usage
704x288 (2CIF) Recommended when smaller capacity hard drives are fitted (2Tbytes or less)
704x576 (4CIF)
Recommended for best quality when larger capacity hard drives are fitted (4Tbytes
or more) or if event triggered recording is used.
Set the resolution for both Normal and Event recording. Event recording applies when Activity
detection or external alarm inputs are used.
Note : 4CIF resolution is equivalent to D1 resolution (720x576). Higher resolutions are available for IP
cameras.
