The recorder screen consists of the following.
The screen may be configured differently depending on the menu selected by the user.

Record Setup

You can set resolution, IPS, and quality of recordings by channel, and by recording type of standard / event. You can check frame rates and data transfer amount of Full Frame and Key Frame recordings for each channel, and set the transfer limit for recordings.

• Apply to other channels : If you select , “Apply to other channels” confirmation window will appear. After selecting channels that the settings will be applied to, click on to apply them to the selected channels.

• : The camera of the corresponding channel is displayed on the list or as a thumbnail.

• Camera name : Displays the camera name.

• IP Address : Displays the camera IP address

• Continuous recording / Event recording : Set the recording method for Continuous recording or Event recording.
  – Full frame : Records all frames fed by the camera.
  – I-frame : Records only key frames fed by the camera. Depends on camera settings.
  – Off : No recording is made.

• Frame
  – Full frame : Shows the amount of data for all the scene recordings.
  – I-frame : Shows the amount of data for the main scene recordings.

• Limit : Set the amount of data allowed for input for each channel.

• Event : When an event occurs, you can set which point you will start or stop recording.
  – Pre : When an event occurs, recording will be started regardless of the time set. If you set it to five seconds, recording will start at five seconds before an event occurs.
  – Post : When an event occurs, recording will continue after the time set. If you set it to five seconds, recording will continue for a further five seconds after an event is finished.

• Audio : Specify whether to record the sound received from the camera or not.
  ■ If a channel’s data transfer exceeds defined allowed limit, then it may affect to other channels, and may force switching to recording even when the channel is configured to recording mode. For Key Frame recording channels, the icon for limited recording appears on the live screen’s top side. But if the sum of the limits is below the max limit, you can still receive the entire frames despite exceeding the permitted bitrates for each channel.
  ■ A channel displayed in yellow indicates that the recorded data is not being transferred from the camera and that the recording is being performed temporarily using another profile on the camera. Check the channel information to see the applied profile to the channel listed in yellow. A channel displayed in orange indicates that the amount of inputted data is greater than the permitted data amount. In this case, it is impossible to record all of the incoming frames. Instead, only part of the frames (1 or 2 frames per second) can be recorded. To resolve this issue, you must set the permitted data amount to be greater than the amount of inputted data.
