Recording Frame Rate
Required average frame rate for recorded video from the camera.
Select number of frames, then select the time unit interval (second,
minute or hour). The frame rate must be higher than the frame rate
specified under normal mode.
Tip: Speedup does not necessarily have to be based on motion- or events, you can also use
scheduling (see " Speedup " on page 135) to configure speedup based on particular periods of time. If
you prefer such time-based speedup, you should still enable the use of speedup by selecting the
Enable speedup check box.
Dual stream:
This feature is only available on cameras supporting dual stream.
Name Description
Enable dedicated live stream
This additional stream feature lets you use the alternative stream of
the camera. It enables two independent streams to the recording
server
—a stream for live viewing and another stream for recording
purposes, with different resolution, encoding, and frame rate.
Stream
Select the type of the live stream. Stream settings for viewing live
video and for recording video may very well be different in order to
get the best result.
Resolution Select the resolution of the camera.
FPS Select the camera's live frame rate per second (FPS)
If the camera uses the MPEG video format
With MPEG, you can define frame rate and other settings:

Name Description
Frame rate per second
Frame rate for viewing live and recorded video from the camera.
Select number of frames per second.
Properties available in XProtect Enterprise, XProtect Professional and XProtect Express only:
Record keyframes only
Keyframes stored at specified intervals record the entire view of the
camera, whereas the following frames record only pixels that
change. This helps greatly reducing the size of MPEG files. Select
the check box if you only want to record keyframes. Note that you
can specify exceptions if motion is detected or events occur.
Record all frames on motion
Allows you to make exceptions if you have selected to record
keyframes only. Select this check box to record all frames when
motion is detected. Two seconds after the last motion is detected,
the camera will return to recording keyframes only.
