FIX: IPS per channel = RECORD IPS ÷ number of channels

GROUP (Suitable for Frame mode. Every four channels will form a group. ”

●” means under recording.):

8CH → IPS per channel = RECORD IPS ÷ 2 ÷ number of channels in a group which is

under recording.

For example, If you set the record IPS as 60 IPS, then

Channel 05 in the group 2 will get 30 IPS (60 / 2 / 1 = 30)

Channel 01 and 04 in the group 1 each will get 15 IPS (60 / 2 / 2 = 15)

16CH → IPS per channel = RECORD IPS ÷ 4 ÷ number of channels in a group which

is under recording.

For example, If you set the record IPS as 120 IPS, then

Channel 01 in the group 1 will get 30 IPS (120 / 4 / 1 = 30)

Note: The default setting of SS is 03, which means once an object is detected more than 3 grids, the system

will get triggered. So the value of SS must be less than the number of grids that you set up for the motion detection area.

6) TS (Time of Sensitivity)

“TS” is to set the sensitivity regarding how long one object stays in the detection area and triggers the recording. The

smaller the value is, the higher sensitivity for motion detection.

The highest sensitivity setting is 00, and the lowest sensitivity setting is 15. The default setting is 02.

7) RE

(Reference)

“RE” is to set a reference for detection. The default value is 10, which means the DVR will compare 10 continuous

images at one time according to the sensitivity of LS, SS, TS simultaneously.

The bigger the value is, the higher sensitivity for motion detection. The highest sensitivity is 61.
