You can configure the stream type, the resolution, the video quality and other parameters on demand 

for Main Stream (Continuous) and Main Stream (Event) respectively. 

The 

Input Resolution

 of camera connected will be displayed in the live view for 5 seconds when the 

camera is connected, or the DVR is powered on. The input resolution includes the resolution and 

frame rate of the camera. 

3)

 

You can configure the  advantage parameters, including  pre-record, post-record time, expired time, 

redundant record (this option is only available when the HDD mode is 

Group

) and whether you want 

to record audio. 

 

Pre-record:

 The time you set to record before the scheduled time or event. For example, when an 

alarm triggered the recording at 10:00, if you set the pre-record time as 5 seconds, the  camera 

records it at 9:59:55. 

 

Post-record: 

The time you set to record after the event or the scheduled time. For example, when 

an alarm triggered the recording ends at 11:00, if you set the post-record time as 5 seconds, it 

records till 11:00:05. 

 

Expired Time:

 The expired time is the longest time for a record file to be kept in the HDD, if the 

deadline is reached, the file will be deleted. You can set the expired time to 0, and then the file will 

not be deleted. The actual keeping time for the file should be determined by the capacity of the 

HDD. 

 

Redundant Record: 

The redundant record is to decide whether you want the camera to save the 

record files in the redundant HDD. You must configure the redundant HDD in HDD settings. For 

detailed information, see 

Chapter 5.8 Configuring Redundant Recording.

 

 

Record Audio: 

Check the checkbox of  Record Audio to record the sound, otherwise record the 

image without sound. 

 

Video Stream: 

Main stream and sub-stream are selectable for recording. When you select 

sub-stream, you can record for a longer time with the same storage space. 

 

Enable 960 Mode:

 The option is supported by analog cameras. Enabling the 960 mode to enable

cameras, and the channel No.4 connects to an analog camera, and then the settings of channel No. 1 can be only 

copied to channel 2 and 3.
