9.3.4 PRE CAMERA
Pre-Camera setup allows the administrator to define fundamental attributes for connected cameras.
The following is a brief description for each item in this menu and its specific operations:
• BEST REC RESOLUTION
Select the record resolution for all the cameras connected to the system. This is a global setting.
Select D1 for the highest resolution (720x480), Half D1 for medium resolution (720x240), or CIF for lower
resolution (360x240).
Note: While higher resolution offers more detail, it does require more hard drive storage space and higher
network bandwidth capacity for streaming.
• WATERMARK
An invisible, digitally embedded security feature to protect against tampering of recorded content.
If a downloaded .h264 clip has been altered, the PC-based playback software will alert the user with
a message upon playback. The default setting is enabled.
• MAX ID
Select the maximum number of cameras connected to the DVR.
• COMPRESSION
This DVR uses the latest compression format (.h264) for the most efficient use of storage space and
streaming flexibility. The Compression setting allows the administrator to further compress streaming
video to account for slow or bandwidth-limited networks. Choose Normal for normal compression or
select High to enable the second stream of the Dual Streaming (See Section 9.4). The High setting will
reduce the resolution of the second stream to one of the four QCIF levels as set in the Video Stream setting
in the Network tab (Section 9.3.3).
• INSTALLED
Enable or disable cameras in the system. The default setting is enabled.
• PTZ ID
Enter the Pan/Tilt/Zoom ID of corresponding camera if it’s a PTZ camera. The PTZ ID should be unique
and must be consistent with the setting in the PTZ-capable camera. Please refer to the manual for the
camera regarding the proper PTZ ID setting.
