Troubleshooting

Make sure you have installed batteries properly in the remote control. And you have to aim the remote control at the IR receiver in the front panel.

If there is no response after you press any button on the remote, follow the procedure below to troubleshoot.

Go to System > General by operating the front control panel or the mouse. Check and remember device ID#. The default ID# is 255. This ID# is valid for all the IR

remote controls.

Press DEV on the remote control. Enter the device ID# you set in step 2. Press ENTER on the remote.

If the Status indicator on the front panel turns blue, the remote control is operating properly. If the Status indicator does not turn blue and there is still no response from the remote, please check the following:

 Batteries are installed correctly and the polarities of the batteries are not reversed.

Network Video Recorder User Manual

 Batteries are fresh and not out of charge.  IR receiver is not obstructed.  No fluorescent lamp is used nearby

If the remote still can’t function properly, please change a remote and try again, or contact the device provider.

Recording Parameters

Main Stream

The Main Stream refers to the primary stream that affects data recorded to the hard disk drive and will directly determine your recording quality and image size.

Comparing with the sub-stream, the main stream can provide a higher quality video with higher resolution and frame rate.

Network Video Recorder User Manual

Frame Rate (FPS - Frames Per Second): refers to how many frames are captured each second. A higher frame rate is advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains image quality throughout.

Resolution: Image resolution is a measure of how much detail a digital image can hold: the greater the resolution, the greater the level of detail. Resolution can be specified as the number of pixel-columns (width) by the number of pixel-rows (height), e.g.,1024×768.

Bitrate: The bit rate (in kbit/s or Mbit/s) is often referred to as speed, but actually defines the number of bits/time unit and not distance/time unit.

Enable H.264+ Mode: The H.264+ mode helps to ensure the high video quality with a lowered bitrate. It can effectively reduce the need of bandwidth and HDD storage space.

A higher resolution, frame rate and bitrate setting will provide you the better video quality, but it will also require more internet bandwidth and use more storage space on the hard disk drive.

Sub-Stream

The sub-stream is a second codec that runs alongside the mainstream. It allows you to reduce the outgoing internet bandwidth without sacrificing your direct recording quality.

The sub-stream is often exclusively used by smartphone applications to view live video. Users with limited internet speeds may benefit most from this setting.

Picture

The picture refers to the live picture capture in continuous or event recording type.

Picture Quality: set the picture quality to low, medium or high. The higher picture quality results in more storage space requirement.

Interval: the interval of capturing live picture.

Configure Advanced Recording Settings

Go to Storage > Record Schedule. Check Enable Schedule to enable scheduled recording. Click Advanced to set the recording parameters.

Network Video Recorder User Manual

Advanced Record Settings

 Record Audio: Check the checkbox to enable or disable audio recording.  Pre-record: The time you set to record before the scheduled time or event. For example, when

an alarm triggers the recording at 10:00, and if you set the pre-record time as 5 seconds, the camera records at 9:59:55.

 Post-record: The time you set to record after the event or the scheduled time. For example,

when an alarm triggered recording ends at 11:00, and if you set the post-record time as 5 seconds, it records till 11:00:05.

 Expired Time: The expired time is period for a recorded file to be kept in the HDD. When the

deadline is reached, the file will be deleted. If you set the expired time to 0, the file will not be deleted. The actual keeping time for the file should be determined by the capacity of the HDD.

 Redundant Record/Capture: By enabling redundant record or capture you save the record and

captured picture in the redundant HDD. See Chapter Configure Redundant Recording and Capture.

 Stream Type: Main stream and sub-stream are selectable for recording. When you select sub-

stream, you can record for a longer time with the same storage space.
