Use this table to specify the frame rate and schedule. We need to set Alarm

Rate, Alarm Schedule, Motion Rate, Motion Schedule, Normal Rate, and

Normal Schedule for each camera.

(1) Alarm-driven recording: Alarm schedule is active and alarm-in is triggered.

(2) Motion-driven recording: Motion schedule is active and motion is detected.

(3) Alarm Rate is the frame rate for alarm-driven recording.

(4) Alarm Schedule is one of the 16 sharable recording schedules (refer to section 5.6) for alarm-driven recording.

(5) Motion Rate is the frame rate for motion-driven recording.

(6) Motion Schedule is one of the 16 sharable recording schedules for motion-driven recording.

(7) Normal Rate is the frame rate for first normal recording.

(8) Normal Schedule is one of the 16 sharable recording schedules for first normal recording.

For each camera: z If alarm-driven recording is active, the recording frame rate is

Alarm Rate. z If motion-driven recording is active and alarm-driven is not active, the recording frame rate is Motion Rate.

81

82 z If no event happens and schedule is active, the recording frame rate is

Normal Rate.

Note: The highest priority is Alarm Schedule, then Motion Schedule, then

Normal Schedule. The recording frame rate is the frame rate of active recording frame rate with highest priority.

Example:

Force to compress image in I frames. Force compress will improve the image quality, but the storage space will be consumed quickly.
