 •EVENTRECORDFPS

Set the Frames Per Second record rate for each camera when events such as motion or alarm inputs

trigger the camera to record. Settings for Post Record time determines how long the DVR will record after

the event triggers recording. Please refer to Section 6.2.2 and Section 6.3 for Post-record time. Press +/-

  buttonstoselectavaluefrom0–30.

Warning: The total Event Record FPS should not exceed the system recording capacity of 240 FPS at CIF

resolution, 120 FPS at Half-D1 resolution or 60 FPS at Full-D1 resolution as set in Pre-Camera setup in Section

  6.1.Conrmthesystem’stotalEventRecordFPSbytotalingtheEventRecordFPSforeachcamera

connected to the system. The DVR will automatically lower the actual record rate (once the total maximum

  FPSisreached)ifsetbeyondthesystem’scapabilities.

Note: The higher the FPS setting for a camera, the more uid the motion on playback. A slower FPS

setting could result in “choppy” video during playback. As a reference, live video equals 30 FPS.

In surveillance, 15 FPS is recognized as very good quality video, while 7 FPS is typically sufcient

for most cases.

 •PRE-RECORDFPS

Pre-Record FPS is the the frames per second pre-record rate for each camera when events such as motion,

video loss or alarm inputs trigger the camera to record. For this DVR, the Pre-Record FPS is always the same

as Event Record FPS. Settings for Pre-Record time determine how much time the DVR will record before the

event triggers recording. Please refer to Section 6.2.1, Section 6.2.2 and Section 6.3 for Pre-record time.

 •NORMALRECORDFPS

Unless disabled in the schedule (see Section 6.5), the DVR is always recording. If there is no event

triggering the DVR to record (such as motion or alarm inputs), the DVR is still recording and the recording

is referred to as Normal Record. Set the FPS for each camera to be recorded by pressing +/- buttons to

select the value from a minimum of 0 to a maximum equal to the Event Record setting.
