5.1 Configuring Encoding Parameters

Purpose:

By configuring the encoding parameters you can define the parameters which affect the image quality, such as the transmission stream type, the resolution and so on. Before you start:

1. Make sure that the HDD has already been installed. If not, please install a HDD and initialize it.

(Menu>HDD>General)

Figure 5.1 HDD- General

2. Check the storage mode of the HDD

1) Click Advance to check the storage mode of the HDD.

2) If the HDD mode is Quota, please set the maximum record capacity and maximum picture capacity. For detailed information, see Chapter 10.5 Configuring Quota Mode.

3) If the HDD mode is Group, you should set the HDD group. For detailed information, see Chapter 5.9 Configuring HDD Group for Recording and Capture.

1) Select Record to configure. You can configure the stream type, the resolution, the video quality

on demand.

2) Click More to configure the pre-record, post-record time, expired time, redundant record/capture

and whether you want to record audio.

• Pre-record: The time you set to record before the scheduled time or event. For example,

when an alarm triggered the recording at 10:00, if you set the pre-record time as 5 seconds, the camera records it 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 the recording ends at 11:00, if you set the post-record time as 5 seconds, it records till 11:00:05.

• Expired Time: The expired time is the longest time for a record file to be kept in the HDD, if

the deadline is reached, the file will be deleted. You can set the expired time to 0, and then 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: Enabling redundant record or capture means you save the

record and captured picture in the redundant HDD. See Chapter 5.8 Configuring Redundant Record / Capture.

Note: When the device is configured with RAID function, the Redundant Record/Capture

is unavailable.
