Steps

1. Go to Conguraon → Record → Parameter .

Main Stream

Main stream refers to the primary stream that aects 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 resoluon 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 sacricing your direct recording quality. Sub-stream is

oen exclusively used by smartphone applicaons to view live video. Users with limited

internet speeds may benet most from this seng.

Frame Rate

Frame rate refers to how many frames are captured each second. A higher frame rate is

advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains image quality

throughout.

Resoluon

Image resoluon is a measure of how much detail a digital image can hold: the greater the

resoluon, the greater the level of detail. Resoluon can be specied as the number of pixel-

columns (width) by the number of pixel-rows (height), e.g.,1024×768.

Bitrate

The bit rate (in Kbit/s or Mbit/s) is oen referred to as speed, but actually denes the number

of bits/me unit and not distance/me unit.

Note

Higher resoluon, frame rate, and bitrate provide you beer video quality, but it also requires

more internet bandwidth and uses more storage space on the hard disk drive.

facial feature of human being, facial recognion rst checks if human face exists in the input image

or video stream. If there is a human face, the funcon compares the face data (such as posion,

size, and facial feature) with those in current face picture libraries to idenfy the person.

Note

This funcon is only available for certain models.

6.5.2 Congure Recording Parameter

Steps

1. Go to Conguraon → Record → Parameter to congure camera main stream and sub-stream

parameters.

2. Congure recording parameters.

Main Stream

Main stream refers to the primary stream that aects 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 resoluon 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 sacricing your direct recording quality. Sub-stream is

oen exclusively used by smartphone applicaons to view live video. Users with limited

internet speeds may benet most from this seng.

Frame Rate

Frame rate refers to how many frames are captured each second. A higher frame rate is

advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains image quality

throughout.

Resoluon

Image resoluon is a measure of how much detail a digital image can hold: the greater the

resoluon, the greater the level of detail. Resoluon can be specied as the number of pixel-

columns (width) by the number of pixel-rows (height), for example, 1024 × 768.

Bitrate

Network Video Recorder User Manual

The bit rate (in Kbit/s or Mbit/s) is oen referred to as speed, but actually denes the number

of bits/me unit and not distance/me unit.

Enable H.264+/Enable H.265+

The H.264+/H.265+ mode helps to ensure the high video quality with a lowered bitrate. It can

eecvely reduce the need of bandwidth and HDD storage space.

Enable Low Bitrate Mode

In order to save device bandwidth or memory, the device would automacally adjust camera

video main stream bitrate according to your network condion.

Note

Low bitrate mode is only available for certain camera models. If your camera supports this

funcon, it would be enabled by default.
