The maximum bit rate selection is related to resolution. If you select high resolution, you must select high bit rate. For CIF resolution, the typical maximum bit rate is 384K-768Kbps.

Of course, you will select the proper max bit rate based on the camera, background and image quality required.

Bit rate: You can select bit rate size for fixed bit rate type. It is the same as “Max Bit Rate”.

Frame Rate: Frame per second. Options are: 25 (PAL)/30(NTSC) 20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 For low frame rate, you can select low bit rate size, this will maximize hard drive usage.

PreRecord Time: When you enable motion detection recording or external alarm recording, you can setup prerecord time. The options are: No PreRecord, 5 Seconds (default selection), 10 Seconds, 15 Seconds, 20 Seconds, 25 Seconds, 30 Seconds and Max PreRecord.

MaxPreRecord is used to save all data in PreRecord buffer. The PreRecord time is related with bit rate. The lower bit rate, the longer PreRecord time is.

If the bit rate (Max bit rate) is very low, and you select “PreRecord Time” as “5 Seconds” the actual pre-record time may be more than 5 seconds. On the other hand, if the bit rate is high, and you set “PreRecord Time” as “30 Seconds”, the actual prerecord time may be less than 30 seconds.

PostRecord Time: When external alarm or motion alarm is stopped, DVR will continue recording time. The options are: 5 Seconds (default), 10 Seconds, 30 Seconds, 1 Minute, 2 Minutes, 5 Minutes and 10 Minutes.

Enable Rec: Enable or disable selected camera’s record function. “×” means disabled and

“ü” means enabled.

Schedule: When you enable recording function, you can setup recording schedule.

Note: When the camera’s recording schedule is modified, you must reboot the DVR to make it effective.
