I want to record at high quality but view over the network at lower quality so I see better movement.
All MACE Mpeg 4 series DVRs have this feature. Program your DVR’
s recording speed and quality at
MENU->SYSTEM SETTING->IMAGE.
Once connected to the DVR over the network (either through IE browser or the Remote Client software), use the
“Multi-Video Preview” option to monitor the cameras. You can modify the preview speed and image quality to
suite for your network speed. (On the IE browser: Config->Image, one the Remote Client: DVR Menu->Image)

What does the sound of the buzzer mean when normally starting the machine
When the machine is started successfully, it will tone out a short ring.
When the HD can not be identified, it would tone out a longer ring.
When communication with the controller panel is abnormal, it sends out a tone of one long ring and two short in
series.
7. Can I control the recording time?
The recording time unit is per day. Besides schedule recording, there are other recording methods such as
motion detection recording, manual recording, external event triggering recording. Confirm that each of the
settings is correct.
8. The indicator light is flashing while recording
Check the external video input signal first. Such phenomena would happen when the input signal is not
standard. If it is not the input signal, it must be caused by that the reading speed of the HD is too slow. In this
situation, the current HD should be changed.
9. How does DVR handle the broken (bad) sectors of the harddisk?
If there is a broken sector of HD and it is not too large, the machine will ignore and jump over it. If the damage
area is too large for the DVR to safely store information on it, the system will eliminate this HD and output
corresponding information.
10. What kind of external equipment could be connected to the Recorder?
It can work together with various matrix units, multiplexers, switchers, quads and PTZ Domes.
