6. After recording has been set to Event Recording, go to Motion Detect to set the motion
detection for each camera. In this step, the Copy option is only for analog cameras; IP cameras
need to be configured individually.
7. Go to RECORDING CONFIGURATION > RECORD QUALITY and set the following items:
• Stream Type enables/disables audio streaming from the cameras (if the camera does not
have audio capabilities, Stream Type will have only Video option).
• Resolution sets recording resolution.
• Bitrate Type saves HDD space when set to Variable. Choices: Variable and Constant.
• Video Quality adjusts picture clarity (medium setting = three green squares is
recommended). Medium setting is a balance between good picture and saving HDD space.
• Frame Rate sets recording frame rate (12-15 fps is recommended to save HDD space and
prevent “choppy” video).
• Max Bitrate Mode chooses between pre-set bitrate values and customized values (General
setting is recommended).
• Max Bitrate (KBPS) is the chosen bitrate for streaming the video.
• Max Bitrate Recommended is the recommended bitrate according to the parameters set.
• Record Audio turns audio recording on/off (available only if camera has a connected
microphone or only analog channels 1-4).
• Video Stream changes recording between Main Stream and Sub Stream (requires restart).
