7.3 Recording Parameters

7.3.1 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.

Page 70

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 reduces the need of bandwith 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.

7.3.2 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.

7.3.3 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.

7.3.4 ANR

ANR (Automatic Network Replenishment) function which enables the IP camera to save the recording files in the local storage when the network is disconnected, and when the network is resumed, it uploads the files to the device.

Enable the ANR (Automatic Network Replenishment) function via the web browser (Configuration > Storage > Schedule Settings > Advanced).

7.3.5 Configure Advanced Recording Settings

Step 1 Go to Storage > Schedule Settings > Record Schedule/Capture Schedule. Step 2 Check the checkbox of Enable to enable scheduled recording. Step 3 Click Advanced to set the recording parameters.

Page 71

Network Video Recorder User Manual

Figure 7-8 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.

Step 4 Click OK to save the settings.

7.4 Configure Recording Schedule

An array stores data over multiple HDDs to provide enough redundancy so that data can be recovered if one disk fails. Data is distributed across the drives in one of several ways called "RAID levels", depending on what level of redundancy and performance is required.

8.1 Create Disk Array

Purpose

The device supports the disk array that is realized by software. You can enable the RAID function as required. Two ways are available for creating array: one-touch configuration and manual configuration. The following flow chart shows the process of creating array.
