Recording Storage and Reduction

 

51 

The recording mode will apply to the whole system and is selected on the 

Recording 

Options Overview

 page in the administration tools. The following diagrams provide a 

graphical overview of how a recording (identical in all three cases) will be reduced and 
stored by the different recording modes.

While Normal mode has kept the frame rate at 100% the whole time, the other modes have 
reduced the recording. Extended mode has reduced the frame rate at roughly equal 

intervals, and saved the recording for roughly twice as long. Extended Long mode has 

quickly reduced the recording to a much lower frame rate, which is then maintained for 
much longer.
