Select the video resolution (VGA or D1). VGA is recommended for most applications.

If you change the video resolution, all recorded video is erased from the unit.

Select the video format (PAL or NTSC) used by the camera.
Note:
NTSC is generally used in North America. PAL is standard in most other
locations. For additional information, consult the camera documentation.

If you are connecting a CCTV monitor to the Video Gateway, ensure that the
monitor supports the video mode selected here. Some SECAM monitors will also
work when the PAL video mode is selected.

When D1 video resolution is selected, and you change the video mode, all
recorded video is erased from the unit.
