Note: If you change this option, please reboot DVR to make parameter into effective.
Resolution: 2CIF PAL is 704*288 and NTSC is 704*240.
Bit Rate Type: There are two options: “Variable” and “Fixed”.
If you select variable bit rate, DVR will adjust the actual bit rate according to the video
movement. When there is not much movement, DVR will use low bit rate, while there is much
movement, DVR will use high bit rate. In this case, DVR can save HDD usage and network
bandwidth.
If you select fixed bit rate, DVR will use the fixed bit rate to compress iamge. The bit rate
size is defined in “Max Bit Rate” option. In this case, we can calculate the recorded file size and
network bandwidth that we need.
Max Bit Rate: If you select variable bit rate, when the video input has great movement, we
need to limit the max bit rate. The max bit rate has following options (bps): 32K, 48K, 64K, 80K,
96K, 128K, 160K, 192K, 224K, 256K, 320K, 384K, 448K, 512K, 640K, 768K, 896K, 1M, 1.25M,
1.5M, 1.75M, 2M and “User define”.
The max bit rate selection has relations with resolution. If you select high resolution, you
must select high bit rate. For CIF resolution, the typical max bit rate is 384K-768Kbps. For
DCIF/2CIF resolution, the typical bit rate are 512K-1Mbps. For 4CIF resolution, the typical bit
rate are 768K-2Mbps. Of course, you will select the proper max bit rate based on the camera,
background and image quality requirement.
Bit rate: You can select bit rate size for fixed bit rate type. It is the same as “Max Bit Rate”.
Page 68 of 104
User Manual Embedded Net DVR
Image Quality: If you select variable bit rate type, you can define image quality. There are 6
options: Highest, Higher, High, Average, Low and Lowest. High image quality needs high bit rate
size.
Frame Rate: Frame per second. Options are: Full (PAL is 25 FPS and NTSC is 30FPS), 20,
16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16. For low frame rate, you can select low bit rate size.
PreRecord Time: When you enable motion detection recording or external alarm recording,
you can define prerecord time. The options are: No PreRecord, 5 Seconds (default selection), 10
Seconds, 15 Seconds, 20 Seconds, 25 Seconds, 30 Seconds and Max PreRecord.
MaxPreRecord is to save all data in PreRecord buffer. The PreRecord time is related with bit
rate. The lower bit rate, the longer PreRecord time is.
If the bit rate (Max bit rate) is very low, and you select “PreRecord Time” as “5 Seconds”,
maybe the actual perrecord time is more than 5 seconds. On the other side, if the bit rate is high,
and set “PreRecord Time” as “30 Seconds”, the actual prerecord time maybe is less than 30
seconds.
PostRecord Time: When external alarm or motion alarm is stopped, DVR will continue
recording time. The options are: 5 Seconds (default), 10 Seconds, 30 Seconds, 1 Minute, 2

Chapter7 Firmware Upgrade
The DVR firmware is stored in FLASH ROM. You can use DVR upgrade function to write
the firmware file (digicap) into FLASH.
There are two cases that you need to upgrade DVR firmware. One is update old firmware.
The other is when the code in DVR FLASH is crashed.
Note: Make sure that the DVR and the firmware are compatible before the upgrade.
7.1
FTP Server Setup
You can download FTP server software through internet. Here we use wftpd32.exe as the
example:
1. Run wftpd32.exe (FTP server software).
2. Select “Users/rights” under “Security” menu item. The following dialog box will be
pop-up.
3. Create new user. Click “new user’. New user dialog pops up. Input user name “target”.
Click “OK”. In the password dialog, input password “target” in “New Password” and “Verify
Password” edit box. Click “OK” to save and exit the dialog box.
Page 91 of 104
User Manual Embedded Net DVR
4. In the “User/Rights Security” Dialog, select “User Name” as “target”. In “Home
Directory” edit box, input the path where the firmware file (digicap) is placed. Then press “Done”
to exit.
7.2
Upgrade Mode
1. Use client software to upgrade the firmware file. You do not need to use ftp server
software. Please refer to the client software user manual for detail information.
2. Use “FTP” function of “Upgrade” sub menu in “Utilities” menu. You need one host PC
to run FTP server software and place firmware file (digicap), and make sure DVR and
PC are in the same sub net.
3. Use “USB” function of “Upgrade” sub menu in “Utilities” menu. Please make sure the
firmware file (digicap) is placed under root directory of USB flash memory.
4. After you reboot DVR, if you can only hear the startup sound, but can not see startup
picture, you can input shell commands under HyperTerminal. You need one host PC to
run FTP server and HyperTerminal software, and make sure DVR and host PC are in the
same sub net. Please use DTE cable to connect DVR will host PC.
Step 1: Setup and run HyperTerminal
The parameters are: Baud rate: 115200bps, Data bit: 8 bits, Stop bit: 1 bit,
Parity: No, Flow ctrl: None.
Step 2: Press "ctrl" and "u" keys of the PC keyboard. Do not release them.
Step 3: Switch off and on the power supply of DVRDVS. In the HyperTerminal, the
following sentence is appeared: Please input [u/U] or [ESC] key Release "ctrl" and "u"
keys.
Step 4: Press “u” key. In the message line of “IP address of NET DVR”, input any one
ip, just make sure DVR IP and FTP server IP are in the same sub net.
Step 5: In the message line of “IP address of the FTP server”, input the FTP server IP.
Step 6: In the message line of “Confirm? (y/n)”, press “y”. DVR will connect with that
FTP server, and download the firmware file (digicap) through network. Please make
sure FTP server and firmware file are setup and run correctly. After upgrade finished,
press any key to reboot DVR.

Appendix A HDD Capacity Calculation
Calculate total capacity needed by each DVR according to video recording (video recording type
and video file storage time).
Step 1: According to Formula (1) to calculate storage capacity qi that is the capacity of each
channel needed for every hour, unit Mbyte.
qi = d i ÷ 8 × 3600 ÷ 1024
(1)
In the formula: d i means the bit rate, unit Kbit/s
Step 2: After video time requirement is confirmed, according to Formula (2) to calculate the
storage capacity mi , which is storage of each channel needed unit Mbyte.
mi = qi × hi × Di
(2)
In the formula:
hi means the recording time for each day (hour)
Di means number of days for which the video shall be kept
Step 3: According to Formula (3) to calculate total capacity (accumulation) qT that is needed for
all channels in the DVR during scheduled video recording.
c
qT = ∑ m i
(3)
i =1
In the formula: c means total number of channels in one DVR
Step 4: According to Formula (4) to calculate total capacity (accumulation) qT that is needed for
all channels in DVR during alarm video recording (including motion detection).
c
qT = ∑ mi ×a%
(4)
i =1
In the formula：a% means alarm occurrence rate
