1.2 IR Remote Control Operations

The device may also be controlled with the included IR remote control, shown in Figure 1-8.



Batteries (2×AAA) must be installed before operation.

The IR remote is set at the factory to control the device (using default Device ID# 255) without any additional steps. Device ID# 255 is the default universal device identification number shared by the devices. You may also pair an IR Remote to a specific device by changing the Device ID#, as follows:

1.2.1 Pairing (Enabling) the IR Remote to a Specific Device (optional)

You can pair an IR Remote to a specific device by creating a user-defined Device ID#. This feature is useful when using multiple IR Remotes and devices.

On the device:

Step 1 Go to System > General. Step 2 Type a number (255 digits maximum) into the Device No. field.

On the IR Remote:

Step 3 Press the DEV button. Step 4 Use the Number buttons to enter the Device ID# that was entered into the device. Step 5 Press Enter button to accept the new Device ID#.

USB Interface

USB interface for additional devices such as USB mouse and USB Hard Disk Drive (HDD).

1.2.2 Unpairing (Disabling) an IR Remote from a Device

To unpair an IR Remote from a device so that the unit cannot control any device functions, proceed as follows:

Press the DEV key on the IR Remote. Any existing Device ID# will be erased from the unit’s memory

and it will no longer function with the device.



(Re)-enabling the IR Remote requires pairing to a device. See “Pairing the IR Remote to a Specific device (optional),” above.

The keys on the remote control closely resemble the ones on the front panel. See the table 1.4.

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

Step 1 Go to System > General by operating the front control panel or the mouse. Step 2 Check and remember device ID#. The default ID# is 255. This ID# is valid for all the IR remote

controls.

Step 3 Press the DEV button on the remote control. Step 4 Enter the device ID# you set in step 2. Step 5 Press the ENTER button 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:

Network Video Recorder User Manual

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.

Network Video Recorder User Manual

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

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 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).

7.3.4 Configure Advanced Recording Settings

Step 1 Go to Storage > Recording Schedule. Step 2 Check Enable to enable scheduled recording. Step 3 Click Advanced to set the recording parameters.

Network Video Recorder User Manual

Figure 7-9 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 you save the record and captured picture in the redundant HDD. See 7.11 Configure Redundant Recording.

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

Set the record schedule, and then the camera automatically starts/stops recording according to the configured schedule.

Before you start

Make sure you have installed the HDDs to the device or added the network disks before you want to store the video files, pictures and log files.

Refer to the Quick Start Guide for the HDD installation.
