CAMERA SETTINGS

For a high priority camera, you may want to increase the resolution and frame rate to values higher than the global settings. To save space, you may want to reduce the resolution and frame rate for low priority cameras. After making a camera-specific adjustment, select the check box to lock that value in place. This prevents that camera's configuration from being reset the next time you make a change to a global setting. The Estimated Storage value is automatically updated after changes are made and locked.

The camera settings grid displays the resolutions and frame rates for all enabled cameras. It also displays the recording schedules for all enabled cameras (whether each camera is set to record 24/7 or on a schedule).

ESTIMATED ALARM VIDEO

The “Estimated alarm video” setting improves the estimated days of storage. Alarm-related video is retained longer than other types of recording. Space is allowed for this extra retention time when you include an estimated percentage of recordings that are expected to be triggered by alarms. This results in more realistic estimates. By default, the percentage is set to 0 (zero). Increasing this estimate reduces the estimated days of storage.

NOTE: This setting is an estimator, and will not delete video if the actual amount of alarm-related recording exceeds the specified percentage.

ESTIMATED STORAGE

The number of estimated storage days appears above the cameras list. This number updates every time you make changes to global, camera, or privacy settings. The Estimated Storage box turns red if changes to one or more settings prevents the system from meeting the minimum days of storage requirement specified in the Global Settings.

ENDURASTOR SETTINGS

The EnduraStor delay allows you to specify how long you need to retain full motion video, with no video pruned or deleted. The default value is 12 hours.

Pruning means that the DVR removes the P-frames in the video, while retaining all of the I-frames. When there are no more P-frames to prune from either continuous or motion video, the DVR deletes I-frames, beginning with the oldest continuous video, moving to the oldest motion video, and then moving to the oldest alarm-related video. Locked video is retained until the privacy setting limit for locked video is reached.

PRIVACY SETTINGS

Privacy settings allow you to specify when your video recordings must be deleted. In some countries, privacy directives require that video recording systems delete video after a certain number of days. This screen allows you to configure the system to meet those requirements. You may want to delete all of the recording types (continuous, motion, and alarm) after the same number of days. Or, if privacy settings are not required, you may choose to delete continuous video, while retaining alarm and motion video.

To activate your deletion preferences:

1.Select the check box beside the recording type to be deleted.

2.Select the maximum number of days you want to retain video from the After (Days) list.

NOTE: Make sure that the "Delete Video after" settings are the same as, or higher than, the desired days of storage. If these settings conflict (for example, the “Days of storage” is set to 14, but deletion is set to 7 days), then the deletion command takes precedence and the specified days of storage will not be achieved.

3.Select Restore Defaults to restore all the storage settings to the default factory-configured settings.

4.After setting up the schedule, click Apply or OK to apply the changes and save the Storage settings to the DVR. Click Cancel to exit without saving the changes.
