am (Continuous) and the Main Stream
(Event): Stream Type: Set the stream type to be Video or Video & Audio.
6. Resolution: Set recording resolution.
NOTE: Supports up to 3 MP resolution (up to 8 MP resolution for IP cameras).
If a 3 MP signal input is connected to the channel, the recording
resolution will be adjusted to 3 MP (8 MP if 8 MP IP camera) and the
frame rate will be adjusted to 12 fps automatically if the resolution and
frame rate are not configured manually.
If the 3 MP camera is connected to a channel that supports up to
1080p signal input, it will switch to 1080p signal input. When the 3 MP
signal is switched to 1080p signal, PAL will be switched to 1080p/25
Hz and NTSC will be switched to 1080p/30 Hz.
Analog signal inputs including HD-TVI (including 3 MP, 1080p, and
720p signal), can be connected. The analog signal inputs are
recognized automatically and can be mixed randomly.
If the configured encoding resolution conflicts with the resolution of
the front-end camera, the encoding parameters will adjust
automatically to meet the front-end camera (e.g., if the resolution of
the front-end camera is 720p, then the encoding resolution of the
main stream will adjust to 720p automatically).
