10.1 Record - Encode
From the Encode sub-menu you can manage the video parameters for the
Mainstream, Substream and Mobile-stream.
10.1.1 Record - Encode - Mainstream
You can tailor the mainstream recording quality of each camera to suit your
requirements in the Encode - Mainstream sub-menu; whether you are needing to
record at the highest quality possible, for the longest time possible or somewhere in
between.
The mainstream is the video stream which will be recorded to the hard drive so the
quality you set up here is the quality of the footage stored.
The settings available will differ depending on recorder, camera type and camera
model.
Camera
Lists all channels on the recorder.
Stream Type
The stream type allows you to set different recording qualities for regular recording
and alarm triggers. The
Normal type is the everyday recording and Alarm is the
recording parameters the recorder will switch to when an alarm is triggered.
This feature is usually used to save on storage space as you can set the Normal
recording quality to a lower standard for general surveillance and then increase the
recording quality when an event occurs and an alarm is triggered.
Note: To display the parameters for the Alarm recording you will first need to tick the
check box for ETR.
