5.6 Record Quality

There are three levels of recording quality: High, Normal, and Low. Higher quality records the best images but uses more hard drive space.

Record frame rate, record quality and available hard drive space will affect the total recording time of the DVR system.

5.7 Schedule Set

You can preset video recording modes by Time and Motion Detection Recording.
