3.11.1 Setting Record Details
●
Each camera can support PAL/25fps or NTSC/30fps recording, the bitrate range from 100Kbps
to 3000Kbps. The recording support adaptive bitrate control to save recording space. The
bitrate can be down to only 50% of the setting value if there is not too much motion in the video.
For example, if the setting is PAL/25p, 1200Kbps, the actual bitrate can be down to 600Kbps if
there is few motion in the video.
●
If you use high bitrate for recording on the SD card, please choose fast speed SD card, like Class
10 SD card .
●
The file length can be set from one minute to four hours. Due to the limit on FAT32 file system,
each file size cannot be over 2GB. When the file length is too long and bitrate is too high, the file
size could be over 2GB. In this case, the DVR will close the file and create a new file
automatically to avoid this error.
●
There are H.264 and H.265 video modes to be set. Theoretically, H265 consumes 50% less
storage space than H.264 under the same picture quality.
●
The file size for one hour recording displayed in the menu is for reference only. The actual file
size could be a little different.
●
There are 3 types of recording mode: manual, auto and off. The default mode is auto. In this
mode, the DVR will start recording automatically when the DVR is turned on. If it is set to
manual mode, the DVR will not start to record unless user configures it manually. User can use
the mouse to start recording manually. If any camera is set to off, the DVR will not start to
record on this camera.
