Tip:
Since MS Windows uses the
C:
/ drive for
virtual memory, it is best to
NOT
use this drive. As
well, larger drives are better (at least
40
GB is
recommended).
To 'Map' a Network Drive to be Available at a Video
Server: For details on this, open the Windows on-
line help (e.g., from Windows Explorer), search for
"Map Network Drive", and look for a suitable topic in
the list.
Note:
Recording to a mapped network
drive is subject to network speed and loading.

through a slower connection.

triggered recordings will be overwritten by
"circular" recording mode if the hard drive for
recording is nearly full.

17.2.3
Codec
This selection determines the type of
compression and file format for video
recordings.
Notice: Leave this at the default value unless you are
sure you require a different type of recording files.
Select Codec
•
Indeo5.1 (IV50):
Produces AVI video
recordings (high quality, larger file size);
•
Mpeg4.2 (MP42):
Produces MPEG video
recordings (smaller file size, lower quality).
•
Mj
peg3 (MJPG):
Frame by frame
compression;
•
DivX 3.1 (DIV3):
Produces smaller, high quality
AVI recordings.
Notes: Mpeg4.2 and Indeo5.1 are supported directly.
For other file types, the applicable CODEC must have
been obtained and installed separately.
Indeo5.1 is generally recommended for surveillance
video.
For proper operation, MPEG4 and DivX codecs
require a bandwidth/connection supporting a data
transfer rate of at least 30Kb/sec. (preferably higher).

17.2.4
Priority
This allows setting the priority for different
types of recordings (to determine whether
another type of recording will be available for a
camera that presently has one type of
recording already started). In general,
recording-types that are higher in the list will
override all types of recordings below them in
the list.
Notes:
The default settings are generally
recommended.
Moving "Instant Recording" above
"Pre-Alarm Recording" will allow manual recording on
cameras that are set for pre-alarm recording (although
pre-alarm recording will be interrupted until you stop the
manual/instant recording).
