Using Lower Frame Rates
Frame rate and resolution Units can record up to 30 ips from each NTSC camera (up to
25 ips for PAL) at the default resolution. Setting a higher resolution may require lowering
the frame rate.
Slower fast-forward or rewind More images per second (ips) take more time to process.
If recording rates of one or two ips are satisfactory, go ahead and use them.
Security video and commercial video The movement of persons recorded at higher
rates appear smoother than at lower frame rates. Consult your security personnel about
what they require from video surveillance. Two or three frames per second may be wholly
adequate for some security needs.
Quality Setting
1. On the Recording tab, click a cell in the Quality column.
2. Select a value (a compression factor) from the drop-down list that appears. The
values range from 6 to 10. The default value is 7.
Quality and the Storage of Video
Lower values take less storage space but can display block-like artifacts in the video. The
highest Quality setting can double the use of storage space.
