User’s Manual

5.4 Resolution

There are two modes of resolution for video recording:

EACH Mode:

The DVR compresses and records each video channel separately so you can

enlarge a single channel to full screen display and still be recording on all channels.

You can also record on specific channels, for example, you can turn off the record

function of CH1 and CH2 and then the system will only record video on CH3 and

CH4.

Press [CH1], [CH2], [CH3], and [CH4] enlarge relative channel to full screen

display.

In EACH Mode you can use the Auto Switch Function.

Auto Switch Function:

When the system is in live mode or recording mode, press the [QUAD] button

and hold for three (3) seconds to make each video channel enlarge to full screen.

The full screen will be displayed for three (3) seconds, including Quad view.

The switch will lasts until any button is pushed.

For example, [ Stop] will stop the switch and may stop the recording

depending on Record Schedule Settings (5.7 Schedule Set).

QUAD Mode:

The DVR will compress and record all 4 video channels into one file, therefore,

you cannot enlarge a single channel to full screen in play back mode or live

monitoring mode.

Auto Switch Function is not available in QUAD Mode.

5.5 Record Frame

Record frame will affect the movement of objects in recorded video. More

frames per second gives smoother movement and uses more hard disk space.

System default value is 30fps (frames per second) for NTSC (PAL is 25fps),

which means the system will record 30 frames per second shared by all cameras.

You can set frame rate for NTSC to 30,15,10,7,5,4,3,2,1 frames per second (PAL is

25,12,8,6,4,3,2,1)
