Understanding DX8100 Server Maximum IPS Recording

The DX8100 can record at frame rates up to 480 IPS NTSC and 400 IPS PAL. The total frame rate capacity is distributed among 8/16/24/32 channels, depending on the configuration of your unit. Resolution and frame rate values can be assigned evenly among all channels, or they can be configured independently for individual channel. Frame rate values can also be customized according to recording mode (normal, motion, alarm, and ATM/ POS). For information about setting up the DX8100 to record at the maximum rate and resolution, refer to Setting Up DX8100 for Maximum IPS Recording.

Setting Up DX8100 for Maximum IPS Recording

The following table describes how the DX8100 organizes cameras (channels) into groups of four cameras per group. To achieve the maximum recording rate and resolution: (30 ips at 4CIF [NTSC] or 25 ips at 4CIF [PAL]), enable one camera from each group while the other three cameras in the group are disabled. For information about the various recording rates and resolutions, refer to Understanding DX8100 Server Maximum IPS Recording.
