2.2Surveillance Screen

Surveillance video can be viewed and recorded in two screen modes: EACH mode and QUAD mode.

Under the EACH mode, video from the video cameras is recorded in full-screen resolution, but each video takes turns in being recorded (from one camera to the next). Each of the surveillance videos is recorded only at a maximum frame rate of 7.5fps. When viewing live video using EACH mode, you can switch between full screen and quad screen.

Whereas in QUAD mode, video from the video cameras is recorded at a lower resolution, yet each video is recorded in full frame rate, full motion. Videos recorded in QUAD mode can only be played back in QUAD mode.
