DWELL TIME

Dwell time refers to how long the video of the motion detection will stay on the screen. If Call By Event is set to Motion, Alarm, or Both. Press +/- buttons to adjust the value (3 seconds-60 minutes, discrete) to choose the“dwell time”.

AUDIO

The AUDIO IN corresponding to this camera. If selected, the audio data for the selected AUDIO IN will be recorded with the video data for this camera. Press +/- buttons to select none (N/A) or the AUDIO Inputs (1/2). The default setting is “N/A”.

RECORD QUALITY AND RECORD IPS

A brief explanation of IPS and recording quality will help you get the most of your system and the storage space you have.

IPS (images per second) is the rate that the camera captures video. The less the IPS, the choppier the video will be, the higher the IPS the smoother the video will be. However, the higher the IPS, the more space on your hard drive the video will take. Note that you have a TOTAL of 120 IPS (30/camera) for all the cameras combined.

To save space, and optimize your video logs, it is often recommended to set the normal record IPS low, so that when nothing out of the ordinary is happening the video quality is low, but not taking up too much space. You can then set the Event Record IPS and the Pre-Record IPS to a higher IPS so when an event occurs you guarantee a better quality video. This will help save space so you will not run out of hard drive space when an important event happens, and provide you with the optimal video for the times when it is most necessary.

Record Quality – Sets the record quality for this camera. Press +/- buttons to select the value (1-9, with 1 the lowest (rough) quality, 9 the highest (fine) quality).

Event Record IPS – the IPS (Images Per Second) for this camera if an event (Motion, Alarm) occurs for this camera. This camera will be recorded at this rate for post-record time since the event occurs. (Please refer to the following sections for post-record time.) Press +/- buttons to select the value (30 (NTSC)/ 0 – 25 (PAL), discrete).

Pre-record IPS – the Pre-record IPS for this camera if an event (Video Loss, Motion, Alarm) occurs for this camera. This camera is recorded at this rate for Pre-record time before the event occurs. Please note that the total

Event Record IPS / Pre-record IPS should not exceed the system recording capacity (NTSC: 120/CIF, 60/Half-D1, 30/

Full-D1; PAL: 100/CIF, 50/Half-D1, 25/Full-D1), or the system will lower the actual rate automatically at recording.

Normal Record IPS – the normal record IPS for this camera. This camera will be recorded at this rate if no event occurs. Press +/- buttons to select the value (0 – Pre-record IPS for this camera, discrete).

NOTE: The total Event Record IPS/Pre-record IPS can not exceed the system recording capacity (NTSC: 120/CIF, 60/Half-D1, 30/Full-D1; PAL: 100/CIF, 50/Half-D1, 25/Full-D1), or the system will lower the actual rate automatically at recording.
