To Set Up Recording Rates
Right click to open the menu and select MAIN MENU, then select SETTINGS followed by ENCODE.
Here you may can set individual encoding options for Regular, Motion Detect and Alarm Recording.
While any of the cameras may be set higher, please be aware that it will reduce the total recording time
to less than 2 weeks. We recommend:
CIF cameras: Set to H.264 with a 352x288 resolution, 10fps, Bit Rate CBR of 320kbps.
D1 cameras: Set to H.264 with a 704x576 resolution, 10fps, Bit Rate CBR of 768kbps.
Important: The EXTRA STREAM MUST be enabled if you wish to remote access the DVR system. We
recommend that it is always set to CIF resolution, 10fps, Bit Rate CBR of 320kbps
To Begin Recording
Once you have successfully set up the cameras, exit the Menu by right clicking or pressing the CLOSE
button. By default, the DVR will begin recording when it is properly connected to the cameras and has an
installed HDD. If it is recording, the recording icon “ ”will be displayed on screen.
Automatic Overwriting:
When the system is in full, the oldest recorded data will be overwritten automatically. This DVR
System is set to Overwrite by factory default but can be changed in the “GENERAL” Menu.
