Making Recordings; Resolution And Bit Rate Of The Recordings - Eminent EM6104 Mode D'emploi

7.0 Making recordings

The default setting of the digital video recorder is set to record images all the time.
There are several other manners to make recordings as well. You can make
recordings manually, time based recordings, make recordings when motion is
detected, but you can also make recordings which are time based combined with
motion detection. Besides the different manners to make recordings, you can also
adjust the quality and resolution of the recordings. We will explain how to alter the
settings.
To make sure the surveillance recorder keeps recording, even when the hard disk has
reached its capacity, the 'Overwrite' option is activated by default. Using this option,
the oldest recordings will be overwritten automatically to maintain sufficient disk
space.

7.1 Resolution and bit rate of the recordings

1. Make sure the surveillance recorder is completely started and you can see the
surveillance recorder's image on screen.
2. Click 'Start'.
3. You need to login using an admin account. Fill out the password you have set
during the wizard and click 'Login' or do not fill out a password if you have not
used the wizard or if you do not have set a password and click 'Login'.
4. Click 'Basic'.
5. Click 'Record'.
6. Click 'Bit rate'.
7. Choose the desired resolution at 'Resolution'. You can choose between D1
(720x480), HD1 (720x240) and CIF (360X240).
8. At 'Frame rate', you can select the frame rate (amount of images shown per
second). '25' is the highest frame rate possible and delivers an images which is as
fluently as possible. The lower the frame rate, the less fluently the recorded image
will appear. A higher frame rate will consume more hard disk space.
9. Click 'Quality'.
10. At 'Quality', you can select the quality of the image. Setting the quality to 'Best',
means the quality is as good as possible. However, setting a higher quality also
means more hard disk space will be used.
11. Click 'Apply'.
12. Click 'OK' at the 'Successfully saved' screen.
13. Click 'Exit' until you are at the main menu.
Note: The higher you set the resolution, frame rate and quality, the better the picture
on screen will look. However, the higher these settings, the more disk space is needed
for the recordings.
