Honeywell K14392V1 manual Frame Rate Setting, Quality Setting, To Duplicate Settings

Video Feed Setup

Frame Rate Setting

On the Recording tab, click a cell in the Frame Rate column. Select a value (of images per second (ips)) from the list that appears. The default value is: 1 ips.

Table 5–1 Frame Rate Values (Approximate ips) for Multi-Media DSP Units

NTSC	1	2	3	4	5	6	7.5	10	15	30
PAL	1	2	3	4	5	6	8	12.5	25

Using lower frame rates

Frame rate and resolution. Units can record up to 30 ips from each NTSC camera (up to 25 ips for PAL), at the default resolution. Setting a higher resolution may require lowering the frame-rate.

Slower fast-forward or rewind. More ips take more time to process. If recording rates of one or two images per second are satisfactory; then use them.

Security video and commercial video. The movement of persons recorded at higher rates appear smoother; however, consult your security personnel about what they need from video surveillance. Two or three frames per second may be wholly adequate for some security needs.

Quality Setting

On the Recording tab, click a cell in the Quality column. Select a value (a compression factor) from the list that appears. The values range from: 6 to 10. The default value is: 7.

Quality and the storage of video. Lower values take less storage and can display block-like artifacts in the video. The highest setting can double the use of storage.
