Setting Video Priority
This section describes how to define the video settings that are used when different recording functions are
requested concurrently for the same camera.
Picture Quality and FPS Priority
The recording procedures, described in various sections of this chapter (
Manual Recording
,
Auto Record
,
Macro Creation
and
Pre/Post-Alarm Configuration
), each include picture quality and FPS settings that
should apply when those options are executed.
A problem arises when two or more recording options are executed concurrently on the same cameras -
which function's settings should be used for the recording? In this case, the setting that should be utilized
can be determined in two ways:
•
Highest setting value:
The highest of all the setting values used by the applicable recording options is
utilized (default method). For example, for picture quality purposes - if Pre/Post alarms uses quality 8
and Auto Record uses quality 1 and both functions are executed concurrently, quality 1 is used for this
recording.
NOTE:
If the
Highest Requested Quality/FPS
is not selected, the recording FPS and quality are
determined by a combination of the setup in the Quality and FPS Priority window and the
User/Macro priority.
-OR-
•
Highest priority rank:
The setting value used by the recording option having the highest priority rank is
utilized. For example, for Picture Quality purposes, you can set Pre/Post alarms with priority 1 and Auto
Record with priority 2. Then, if both functions are executed concurrently, the Pre/Post alarms quality
setting is used for this recording.
(The
Highest priority rank
criteria selection actually includes three priority levels, enabling you to
prioritize between all the recording functions - see step 4 in the procedure below.)
NOTE:
The Priority is set up between different functions of the system, NOT between users or macros.
