high/low frame rate
Recording
Quality: Allows you
to adjust the video quality in 5 levels. Higher value
equals to lower compression rate.
Resolution
Button: Click the Arrow button next
to the Recording Quality slide bar to select recording
resolutions.
Frame/Sec:
Allow you to adjust camera’s recording frame rate.
There are three options available: Smart, High,
and Low.
Smart: When Smart
Recording Option is selected, the system will distribute
as many frame rates as possible to the camera where
motion occurs.
High:
System will distribute high percentage of frames (not
a definite frame number) to the selected camera while
the other cameras will share rest of the frame rates.
Assuming that all cameras are in action, selecting
High ensures this camera always receive higher frame
rate than the rest of the cameras. Effect can be seen
in both preview mode and record mode.
Low:
System will distribute low percentage of frame
rates to the selected camera. Assuming that all cameras
are in action, certain cameras are of least importance.
System can be set Low in order to allow frame
rate to go to more important cameras.
Frame
Rate Setup: Click the blue Arrow to
open the dialog box that sets maximum recording frame
of this camera. For example, if you select 10 Frames/sec
from the field, maximum frame this camera will record
is 10 frames/second. The setting does not mean it always
records at 10 frames/second because the actual
recording frame rate depends on also other settings
in the system. The function takes effect only in Smart,
High and Low recording mode.
[Motion
Detect]
Motion
Sensitivity: There are 10 levels of
sensitivity for motion detection. The higher the value,
the more sensitive the system is to the motion.
Mask
Filter: Mask instructs the system to
ignore movement under masked area. Mask could be applied
to repetitive motion that should be ignored within the
surveillance area, such as street trees. Buttons used
to modify the masked area are as followed:
