This option is for the purpose of adjusting the number of pictures recorded every second into a storage disk when an alarm input is activated. For a NTSC unit, there are 5 different record speeds you can select from: 30F/S (30 frames per second), 15F/S, 10F/S, 6F/S, and REMAIN. For a PAL unit, there are 5 different record speeds you can select from: 25F/S (25 frames per second), 12.5F/S, 8.3F/S, 5F/S, and REMAIN. If you select REMAIN for use, the device will record images at the same speed as set on the REC page.
