Description / Options
Time limit
Specifies the length of time the system waits before the recording file is saved and a
new one is started (assuming the size limit has not yet been reached). Values range
from 5 minutes to six hours.
Size limit
Specifies the maximum file size a recording can reach before it is saved and a new
recording is started (assuming the time limit has not yet been reached). Values range
from 50 MB to 64 GB.
File type
Specifies the recording file type. Select from AVI, MP4, MP4-Fragmented, MPEG-TS, or
MOV. Choose MPEG-TS for UPnP playback.
AVI
Generally used for playback on Windows.
MP4
A progressive version of MP4. This MP4 type has the best
video player and editor compatibility. (Note that
progressive MP4 files are initially recorded as MP4-
Fragmented and are converted when the file is closed. If
power is lost during conversion, the files are reverted to
(and remain in) fragmented MP4 format.)
MP4-Fragmented
A newer MP4 format. Fixed 10 second intervals.
MPEG-TS
Choose for UPnP playback. Does not support PCM audio
encoding.
MOV
A progressive version of MOV. Generally used for playback
on Mac OS. This type of MOV has the best compatibility
with video players and editors. (Note that progressive MP4
files are initially recorded as MP4-Fragmented and are
converted when the file is closed. If power is lost during
conversion, the files are reverted to (and remain in)
fragmented MP4 format.)
