„ Rec Video: Enable the recording function. Use the drop-down list to select the desired recording
mode: Motion Detect, Round-the-Clock or Day/Night.
~ Recording Codec: Select the method of recording compression for your video: Geo Mpeg4,
Geo H264 or Geo H264 V2.
Geo Mpeg4: It supports a number of advanced settings that allow experienced users to adjust
the encoding process. For details, see Geo Mpeg4 Advanced Settings later in this chapter.
Geo H264 and Geo H264 V2: Provides a much smaller compressed file size than any other
available codec yet without compromising the image quality. Compared to Geo H264, Geo
H264 V2 provides a smaller compressed file size, but has a lower frame rate and higher CPU
usage.
~ Right-Arrow button: Brings up the Day-Night Recording Mode setup dialog box (Figure 1-13).
For details on Day/Night mode, see Setting Day-Night Recording Mode later in this chapter.
„ Apply Advanced Codec Setting: See Geo Mpeg4 Advanced Settings later in this
chapter.
The Advanced Codec Setup button also includes the function of noise detection. See Noise
Detection to Reduce File Size later in this chapter.
„ Invoke Alarm: Sends computer alarm (.wav sound file) on motion detection.
„ Invoke to Send Alerts: Sends an assigned alert (E-Mail/Hotline/SMS) when motion
occurs. Use the slider to specify the motion duration to invoke the alert. The choices
include High (0.5 seconds), Normal (1 second), and Low (1.5 seconds). For example,
suppose you choose High. When motion remains for 0.5 seconds, the alert will be sent
out.
For e-mail alerts, see E-Mail Notification later in this chapter; for hotline alerts, see Hotline
Notification later in this chapter; for SMS alerts, see Short Message Service in Chapter 10.
