Go to System → Device Access → Device Conguraon → Device Parameter → Video Device →
Video Parameters. Select a camera, and congure parameters as your desire.
Main Stream
Main stream refers to the primary stream that aects data recorded to the hard disk drive and
will directly determine your video quality and image size. Comparing with the sub-stream, the
main stream provides a higher quality video with higher resoluon and frame rate.
Sub-Stream
Sub-stream is a second codec that runs alongside the mainstream. It allows you to reduce the
outgoing internet bandwidth without sacricing your direct recording quality. Sub-stream is
oen exclusively used by smartphone applicaons to view live video. Users with limited internet
speeds may benet most from this seng.
Resoluon
Image resoluon is a measure of how much detail a digital image can hold. The greater the
resoluon, the greater the level of detail. Resoluon can be specied as the number of pixel-
columns (width) by the number of pixel-rows (height), e.g., 1024 × 768.
Bitrate Type
The bit rate (in kbit/s or Mbit/s) is oen referred to as speed, but actually denes the number of
bits/me unit rather than distance/me unit. Two types including variable or constant are
available.
Frame Rate
It refers to the number of frames captured each second. A higher frame rate is advantageous
when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains image quality throughout.
I-Frame Interval
I-Frame also referred as intra picture, I-Frame is the rst frame of every GOP (a video
compression technology of MPEG). It can be viewed as pictures aer compression. I-Frame
interval is the amount of frames between two connuous I-Frames.
8.4 Congure Privacy Mask
The privacy mask protects personal privacy by concealing parts of the image from live view or

9.2 RAID Conguraon
A disk array is a data storage virtualizaon technology that combines mulple physical disk drives
into a single logical unit. Also known as a "RAID", an array stores data over mulple HDDs to
provide enough redundancy so that data can be recovered if one disk fails. Data is distributed
across the drives in one of several ways called "RAID levels", based the redundancy and
performance required.

24.2 Glossary
Dual-Stream
Dual-stream is a technology used to record high resoluon video locally while transming a
lower resoluon stream over the network. The two streams are generated by the DVR, with the
main stream having a maximum resoluon of 1080P and the sub-stream having a maximum
resoluon of CIF.
DVR
Acronym for Digital Video Recorder. A DVR is device that is able to accept video signals from
analog cameras, compress the signal and store it on its hard drives.
HDD
Acronym for Hard Disk Drive. A storage medium which stores digitally encoded data on plaers
with magnec surfaces.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Conguraon Protocol (DHCP) is a network applicaon protocol used by devices
(DHCP clients) to obtain conguraon informaon for operaon in an Internet Protocol
network.
HTTP
Acronym for Hypertext Transfer Protocol. A protocol to transfer hypertext request and
informaon between servers and browsers over a network.
PPPoE
PPPoE, Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet, is a network protocol for encapsulang Point-to-
Point Protocol (PPP) frames inside Ethernet frames. It is used mainly with ADSL services where
individual users connect to the ADSL transceiver (modem) over Ethernet and in plain Metro
Ethernet networks.
DDNS
Dynamic DNS is a method, protocol, or network service that provides the capability for a
networked device, such as a router or computer system using the Internet Protocol Suite, to
nofy a domain name server to change, in real me (ad-hoc) the acve DNS conguraon of its
congured hostnames, addresses or other informaon stored in DNS.
Hybrid DVR
A hybrid DVR is a combinaon of a DVR and NVR.
NTP
Acronym for Network Time Protocol. A protocol designed to synchronize the clocks of
computers over a network.
NTSC
Network Video Recorder User Manual
102
Acronym for Naonal Television System Commiee. NTSC is an analog television standard used
in such countries as the United States and Japan. Each frame of an NTSC signal contains 525
scan lines at 60Hz.
NVR
Acronym for Network Video Recorder. An NVR can be a PC-based or embedded system used for
centralized management and storage for IP cameras, IP Domes and other DVRs.
PAL
Acronym for Phase Alternang Line. PAL is also another video standard used in broadcast
televisions systems in large parts of the world. PAL signal contains 625 scan lines at 50Hz.
PTZ
Acronym for Pan, Tilt, Zoom. PTZ cameras are motor driven systems that allow the camera to
pan le and right, lt up and down and zoom in and out.
USB
Acronym for Universal Serial Bus. USB is a plug-and-play serial bus standard to interface devices
to a host computer.
24.3 Frequently Asked Quesons
24.3.1 Why is there a part of channels displaying “No Resource” or turning black
screen in mul-screen live view?
Reason
1. Sub-stream resoluon or bitrate sengs is inappropriate.
2. Connecng sub-stream failed.
Soluon
1. Go to Camera → Video Parameters → Sub-Stream . Select the channel, and turn down the
resoluon and max. bitrate (resoluon shall be less than 720p, max. bitrate shall be less than
2048 Kbps).
Note
If your video recorder noes not support this funcon, you can log in to the camera, and
adjust video parameters via web browser.
2. Properly set the sub-stream resoluon and max. bitrate (resoluon shall be less than 720p, max.
bitrate shall be less than 2048 Kbps), then delete the channel and add it back again.

24.3.2 Why is the video recorder nofying risky password aer a network camera
is added?
Reason
The camera password is too weak.
Soluon
Change the camera password.
Warning
We highly recommend you create a strong password of your own choosing (Using a minimum of 8
characters, including at least three of the following categories: upper case leers, lower case
leers, numbers, and special characters.) in order to increase the security of your product. And we
recommend you reset your password regularly, especially in the high security system, reseng the
password monthly or weekly can beer protect your product.
24.3.3 Why is the video recorder nofying the stream type is not supported?
Reason
The camera encoding format mismatches with the video recorder.
Soluon
If the camera is using H.265/MJPEG for encoding, but video recorder does not support H.265/
MJPEG, change the camera encoding format to the same as video recorder.
24.3.4 How to conrm the video recorder is using H.265 to record video?
Soluon
Check if the encoding type at live view toolbar is H.265.
24.3.5 Why is the video recorder nofying IP conict?
Reason
The video recorder uses the same IP address as other devices.
Soluon
Change the IP address of video recorder. Ensure it is not the same as other devices.

24.3.6 Why is image geng stuck when playing back by single or mul-channel
cameras?
Reason
HDD read/write excepon.
Soluon
Export the video, and play it with other devices. If it plays normally on other device, change your
HDD, and try again.
24.3.7 Why is the device not able to control PTZ camera via coaxitron?
Reason
1. The camera does not support coaxitron.
2. The coaxitron protocol is incorrect.
3. The signal is aected by video opcal transceiver.
Soluon
1. Ensure the video input signal is HDTVI, and the camera supports coaxitron.
2. Ensure coaxitron protocol parameters are correct, such as baud rate and address.
3. Remove the video opcal transceiver, and try again.
24.3.8 Why does the PTZ seem unresponsive via RS-485?
Reason
1. The RS-485 cable is not properly connected.
2. The RS-485 interface is broken.
3. The control protocol is not correct.
Soluon
1. Check if RS-485 cable is properly connected.
2. Change RS-485 interface, and try again.
3. Ensure control protocol is Pelco.
24.3.9 Why is the video sound quality not good?
Network Video Recorder User Manual
105
Reason
1. The audio input device does not have a good eect in sound collecon.
2. Interference in transmission.
3. The audio parameter is not properly set.
Soluon
1. Check if the audio input device is working properly. You can change another audio input device,
and try again.
2. Check the audio transmission line. Ensure all lines are well connected or welded, and there is no
electromagnec interference.
3. Adjust the audio volume according to the environment and audio input device.
