User Manual

5.4 Resolution

There are two modes of resolution for video recording:

EACH Mode:

The DVR compresses and records each video channel separately so you can enlarge a single channel to full screen display and still be recording on all channels.

You can also record on specific channels, for example, you can turn off the record function of CH1 and CH2 and then the system will only record video on CH3 and

CH4.

Press [CH1], [CH2], [CH3], and [CH4] enlarge relative channel to full screen display.

In EACH Mode you can use the Auto Switch Function.

Auto Switch Function:

When the system is in live mode or recording mode, press and hold the

[QUAD] button for three (3) seconds to make each video channel enlarge to full screen. Each camera will appear in full screen for three (3) seconds, including Quad view. The switch will lasts until any button is pushed.

NOTE: Pushing the [ Stop] button will stop the switch feature but also may stop the recording depending on Record Schedule Settings (5.7 Schedule Set).

QUAD Mode:

The DVR will compress and record all 4 video channels into one file however recordings will be limited to quad view and you will be unable to view full screen images in playback mode.

Auto Switch Function is not available in QUAD Mode.

5.5 Record Frame

Record frame indicates the frames or images recorded per second. More frames per second gives smoother movement but uses more hard disk space.

The system default is 30fps (frames per second) for NTSC (PAL is 25fps).

This means the system will record 30 frames per second shared by the active cameras. You can set frame rate for NTSC to 30,15,10,7,5,4,3,2,1 frames per second

(PAL is 25,12,8,6,4,3,2,1)
