10.Video Size – Indicates the resolution size the video will be recorded/streamed at. For NTSC the
settings are 720x480 (D1), 720x240 (1/2 D1) and 360x240 (CIF). For PAL the settings are 720x576
(D1), 720x288 (1/2 D1) and 360x288 (CIF). The higher the resolution, the bigger the size in the re-

with the With Event FPS. Please see the note below for more details on this.
11. Pre-Record Buffer – Indicates how long in seconds the recording will be buffered at the start of an
event recording.
12.Post-Record Buffer – Indicates how long in seconds the recording will be buffered at the end of an
event recording.
13.Restore Defaults – Restores the default settings.
14.Apply – Saves the settings.
Important Note:
Cameras 1 to 16 has a maximum total capture speed of 480/400 fps for NTSC/PAL. This allows 30/25 fps per camera
at CIF resolution. With larger video sizes, the set fps becomes equivalent to double, for 1/2 D1 resolution, and qua-
druple, for D1 resolution, when calculating the total capture speed for 16 cameras. Because of this, the maximum fps
that can be set when cameras 1 to 16 are all set to D1 is 7.5 fps for NTSC.
Audio
1. Unique settings checkbox – Indicates whether unique settings are used per audio or otherwise.
If checked, unique settings are used per audio. To have all audio use the same settings, keep this
option unchecked and modify the settings in Audio All.
2. Enabled status – Indicates whether the audio is enabled or otherwise. If checked, it means that the
audio is enabled. If the audio is disabled, the input gain controls will not be displayed. If there are
no audio inputs, disable the audio to save on storage space.
3. Input Gain volume control – Shows current input gain volume. Click on the + or - to increase or
decreasetheinputgainofthespecicaudio.
4. Restore Defaults – Restores the default settings.
5. Apply – Saves the settings.

to ON, then click on the normal state to set it on.

Map Sensors
1. To map the sensors to cameras, simply select Cameras in the Sensor Mapping option. Click on
the grid to place an “O” to mark the sensor-camera mapping. Once a sensor has been mapped to
a camera, this means that when that particular sensor is triggered, such as when a smoke detector
detects smoke, the camera which is mapped to that sensor will start to record. NOTE: You can map
one sensor to more than one camera and vice versa. When applied, this means that when a smoke
detector or an infrared proximity sensor are triggered, the camera that is mapped to these sensors
will start to record.
2. To map the sensors to relays, simply select Relays in the Sensor Mapping option. Click on the grid
to place a mapping. Depending on what reset mode is selected in the drop down list menu, the
appropriate mark will appear on the grid. A “T” for time-based reset mode, an “S” for sensor synchro-
nized reset mode or an “X” for manual reset mode. Once a sensor has been mapped to a relay, this
means that when that particular sensor is triggered, such as when a smoke sensor detects smoke,
the relay which is mapped to that sensor will either open or close. NOTE: You can map one sensor
to more than one relay and vice versa. When applied, this means that when a smoke detector or an
infrared proximity sensor are triggered, the relay that is mapped to these sensors will open or close,
i.e. light will turn on.
