Stream Setup and Recording Options
There are several different ways in which the camera can record video. All
methods can be used with or without motion detection.
1)
Totally automatic, standalone recording to internal MicroSD card
2)
Totally automatic recording to a network drive (NAS, not USB)
3)
One-click recording on a Windows PC using Internet Explorer
4)
Recording on a PC with software such as BlueIris, LuxRiot, SightHound
5)
Recording on a Mac with software such as EvoCam, SecuritySpy
Most customers choose the camera’s standalone recording to MicroSD since
this option requires no other equipment to be on or even present at the
camera location, and requires no software purchases or accessories.
Some customers prefer recording with a computer, even though this would
require the computer to remain on at all times without being allowed to go to
sleep or standby. This method allows quicker access to recorded files since
they are already on the computer without any transfer needed. Also, this is
typically preferred when displaying or recording multiple cameras.
For recording, you can generally get good results with the factory default
settings in the
“Stream Setup”
menu. However, we recommend reducing the
frame rate to 15 fps or 10 fps to stretch the amount of available recording
time without too much impact on the video quality. Also we recommend
reducing the bit rate from the default 2048K to 1536K or 1024K.
IMPORTANT: If you are planning to use more than 1 task enabled in the task
management menu, or if several cameras are being recorded to a computer,
or if you plan on continuous live viewing while also recording, or if you are
using the “pre-record” function, the frame rate should be lowered to 10 fps
on all streams, with a bit rate of 1024K for the primary stream and 256K for
the secondary stream. MJPEG quality should always be 50 and snapshot
quality should always be 90 for both primary and secondary streams.
Alternately, it is also possible to record from the secondary stream. This is
especially useful for the most efficient use of storage capacity when doing
continuous recording, and can also be combined with motion detection
snapshots so that you have an idea at what times in the continuously recorded
video the camera detected any motion.
