NOTICE
Actual record times will vary because the data rate is not fixed. The
DV-1 uses sophisticated
Variable Bit Rate (VBR) encoding to
maximize overall video quality. VBR causes the system to
compress video more (using a lower data rate) when scenes are
stationary, and compress video less (more data) when scenes are
moving.
Supervisor access is required unless the Set Camera Auto Zoom
permission is set to YES. See Manage Permissions for Settings on
page 80 for details on setting officer permissions.
