16.1.2 Configuring Recording Quality
The system employs two video recording streams, a Main Stream and a Sub Stream. The
Main Stream records high quality video to your system’s hard drive. The Sub Stream re-
cords lower resolution video for efficient streaming to devices over the Internet. You can
customize the video quality settings for these streams according to your needs.
To configure recording quality:
1. From the Main Menu, click
and select Recording>Recording.
2. Select the camera you would like to configure.
3. Configure the following settings. Settings for the Main Stream are in the left column.
Settings for the Sub Stream are in the right column.
• Type: For the Main Stream, you can set different recording quality settings for Con-
tinuous, MD (Motion Detect), and Alarm recording. Select the type of recording you
would like to configure.
• Resolution: Select the resolution the selected camera will be recorded at. Higher
resolutions create a more detailed image, but take up more hard drive space to re-
cord and require more bandwidth to stream to connected computers or mobile
devices.
• Available resolutions for the Main Stream are: 1080P (1920x1080), 720P
(1280x720), 960H (960x480), D1 (704x480), HD1 (352X480), 2CIF (704x240),
CIF (352x240), and QCIF (176x120).
• Available resolutions for the Sub Stream are: D1 (704x480), CIF (352x240), and
QCIF (176x120).
• Frame Rate (FPS): Select the frame rate in Frames Per Second (FPS) that each
stream will record at. A higher frame rate provides a smoother picture, but requires
more storage and bandwidth.
• Bit Rate Type: Select CBR (Constant Bit Rate) or VBR (Variable Bit Rate) to deter-
mine the bit rate type. If you select VBR, you can set the video quality setting be-
tween 1 and 6. If you select VBR, select the Quality from 1 (lowest) to 6 (highest).
• Bit Rate (Kbps): Select the bit rate for each recording stream. A higher bit rate re-
sults in a better image, but increases the amount of hard drive space or bandwidth
required.
4. (Optional) Click the Copy button to copy recording settings to other channels.
5. Click OK to save changes.
16.1.3 Configuring Audio Recording
The system supports one channel of audio recording.
