Channel: Select the channel. Stream: There are two types to identify different streams you have set. Resolution: The camera supports multiple types in the channel, For example: 2K,3M,1080P, 720P, VGA. The higher the resolution is, the clearer video will become. But the code flux will become larger too, and it will take up more bandwidth. (Different models support different specific types. ) Bit Rate: Generally speaking, the larger the bit rate is, the clearer video will become. But the bit rate configuration should combine well with the network bandwidth. When the bandwidth is very narrow, and bit rate is large, that will lead to video can not play well. Frame Rate: Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth. When the video format is 50Hz, the maximum frame rate is 25 fps. When the video format is 60Hz, the maximum frame rate is 30 fps. You should lower frame rate when the bandwidth is limited. Normally, when the frame rate above 15, you can achieve fluently video. Click Save button to take effect.

Appendix

5.1 HDD Capacity Calculation

This chapter describes how to determine the size of the HDD you need when you install the NVR for the first time. The NVR adopts the MPEG4/H.264 compression technology and its dynamic range is large. Therefore, the capacity of the HDD depends on the estimated size of files generated in each channel every hour according to code streams. Computational formula of HDD Capacity: Whole HDD Capacity(M)= number of the channels time in need (hour) spent of HDD Capacity per hour (MB/hour) The meanings of parameters are as follows: Number of the channels: Number of channels where you need to enable recording. Time in need (hour): Time you need to record. Spent of HDD Capacity per hour

Spent of HDD Capacity per hour(M/hour) =

BitRate 3600(sec ond ) 8bit

You can obtain the Bit Rate by using the following methods: -In the GUI interface, choose Menu > Settings > Video , view the value of the Bit Rate. -In the Web interface, choose Parameter Configuration > Local settings > Encoding Scheme, view the value of the Bit Rate.
[Example] If you select 4M for the bit rate and select four channels for recording and one week of recording is needed, you can calculate the HDD capacity by using the following formula: Recording time(hour) =7days*24 hours=168 hour

Spent of HDD Capacity per hour(M/hour)= 4Mbit 3600 =1800M/hour 8bit

www.foscam.com

73

NVR User Manual
Whole HDD Capacity(M)=4168(hour)1800 (M/hour) =1209600M, 1209600M= 1209600M =1181.25G
1024 According to the preceding calculation result, you are advised to buy a HDD of 1.5 TB or above.

5.3 FAQ
1. No image displayed on the monitor after starting up normally. Verify the device is connected with the monitor via HD-OUT or VGA cable. Verify the connection cable is good. Verify Input mode of the monitor is correct.
Please check the input mode of the monitor matches with the output mode of the device (e.g. if the output mode of NVR is HD-OUT output, then the input mode of monitor must be the HD-OUT input). And if not, please modify the input mode of monitor. 2. No record file found in the NVR local HDD, and prompt “No record file found”. Verify the system time setting is correct. Choose Menu > Settings > General in the GUI interface, and verify the time is correct. Verify the search condition is correct. Choose Menu > Playback in the GUI interface, and verify the channel and time are correct. Verify the HDD status is normal. Choose Menu > About > HDD Info in the GUI interface, view the HDD status. 3. Why recording is not performed after motion detection is enabled? On the “Motion Detection” page, check whether the following are correctly set: Check whether the motion detection channel is correct. Check whether a trigger time segment is set. Check whether a detection area is set. Check whether recording is selected. 4. The screen of the display is incomplete. Confirm the current resolution and check the resolution supported by the display. If the resolution is 19201080, the display needs to support the resolution 19201080.
5. Why can’t video files be downloaded during video playback or downloaded files cannot be played back properly?
To save consumed resources, the server limits concurrency of video playback and file download. In this case, stop video playback and then download files or play back videos after video files are downloaded.
