Page 61
User Manual of DS-7000HI-S Series Net DVR
Resolution: The higher resolution is, the clearer the image is. The resolution options from low to high are: QCIF, CIF, 2CIF, DCIF, 4CIF.
DS-7004HI-S: Each channel s upports 4CIF@8FPS, DCIF@8FPS, 2CIF@15FPS,
CIF/QCIF@real-time.
DS-7008HI-S/DS-7016HI-S: Each channel supports 2CIF@15FPS,
CIF/QCIF@real-time.
Note: If you change this resolution option, please reboot DVR to make it become effective.
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 follows 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 resolution, the typical bit rate is 512K-1Mbps. For 4CIF resolution, the typical bit rate is 1Mbps~1.5Mbps. 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”.
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 s elec t low bit r ate si ze.
Enable Event Para: The setting activates Event recording parameters. “×” means disable and “” means enable the function.
Enable Rec: The setting decides whether the camera will start recording. Recording may be halted according to the additional schedule settings.
Schedule: When you enable recording function, you can setup recording schedule.

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.
