set to NO, the DVR will automatically stop recording when the HDD is full. If there are two HDDs
installed in the DVR, when the MASTER HDD is full, the video will store to the SLAVE HDD. When
the SLAVE HDD is full, the DVR will overwrite the MASTER HDD if OVER WRITE is set to YES,
otherwise recording will stop.
REC SPEED:
The DVR factory default setting for the recording frame rate is 30F/SEC (frames/second)
under video standard NTSC (25F/SEC default under video standard PAL). This means the DVR
records events at the speed of 30 frames per second. The higher the recording speed rate, the more
natural look is displayed on the screen during playback. The lower the recording frame rate, the more
space is saved on the hard disk. The highest frame rate is 120F/SEC for NTSC (for PAL is 100F/SEC)
when the resolution is set as 360.
REC QUALITY:
There are four different video quality settings: VERY LOW, LOW, NORMAL and
HIGH. The higher the video quality is set, the clearer images are obtained during playback. The lower
the video quality is set, the more space is saved on the hard disk drive.
RESOLUTION:
The recording picture size of the DVR has two modes: 360 and 720. The default
value is 360. In 720 mode, the recorded picture is twice as large as in 360 mode. In 360 mode the REC
speed is 120F/SEC for NTSC (100F/SEC for PAL) and the maximum REC SPEED in 720 mode is
60F/SEC for NTSC (50F/SEC for PAL).
PB SPEED:
The default playback frame rate is AUTO, which is the same as REC SPEED. Otherwise,
there are also nine options to choose from: 1/2/3/5/12/20/30/60/120 F/SEC for NTSC standard
(1/2/3/5/10/12/25/50/100 F/SEC for PAL).
