grid. Recording Type controls video frames per second (FPS) and
compression amount and will change video quality and storage
capacity.

of days (4096 kbps bit rate)
 Standard – Standard quality, capable of recording an average
number of days (2560 kbps bit rate)

7. For advanced applications, set custom Recording Type Profiles by
clicking on the desired
Profile
tab and changing the recording
settings to best suit your installation.
You can set three custom profiles in addition to the presets. Custom
Profiles allow you to set the specific frame rate and image quality for
each camera for normal recording and during an alarm event. Frame
rate, given in Frames Per Second (FPS) dictates how smooth video will
look on your screen.
A high frame rate (30 FPS) captures motion very smoothly but uses
more system resources. A low frame rate produces choppier video, but
uses less recording space.
Most applications do not require a continuous high frame rate of 30
FPS. A lower frame rate of 10-15 FPS is sufficient for most event
recording.
1. Select the camera channel you want to configure.
2. Select the frame rates in Frames Per Second for normal recording
( Normal FPS ) during Day, Night, and Weekend schedules.
3. Select the image quality in Kilobytes Per Second (kbps) for normal
recording ( Normal Qlty ).
4. Select the maximum frame rate to be recorded during an alarm
event ( Event Max FPS ).
5. Select the image quality to be transmitted during an event ( Event
Qlty ).

click the desired dates . Those dates will then appear in the Date
column on the right side of the screen. Double-click a date on the Date
list to remove it from the list.
