Image resolution is determined by the product of picture
quality and recording rate. The higher the picture quality
and the faster the recording rate, the better the image
resolution; however, as higher resolution requires more
storage capacity, the recording time will be reduced
accordingly.

0.033 FPS when the setting for pre-alarm recording is
“ON”.
zThe recording rate for timer recording should be set
separately using the TIMER SET menu. (JP. 17)
