in the Advanced menu (also reachable through the Main Menu) but are included
here for ease of instruction.
RECORDING
CHAPTER 5
The menu will only display four channels at a time. The pull-down menu in the upper left of the
menu allows you to switch between groups of four channels; 1-4, 5-8, 9-12 and 13-16.
The recording options for each camera can be selected independently and are available below
each camera’s channel number.
CHANNEL. Enable/disable recording for a specific camera by toggling it On or Off using the
pull-down menu.
RESOLUTION On the QS 206, CIF is the only resolution option. The QS408 offers the larger
and clear D1 recording format on channels 1 and 2.
BITRATE Select BEST, FINE, or NORMAL. Set up the code rate for recording corresponding
to 768Kbps, 512Kbps and 384Kbps.
AUDIO If you have a powered microphone or audio-capable camera connected to Channels
1 and/or 2, you can select ENABLE to record the audio feeds. Audio feeds are not possible
on other channels.
REC. MODE Select POWER UP to record continuously from the time the DVR is turned on. If
you select TIMER RECORD, you will need to set a recording schedule on the system.
REC. SIZE Record Size sets the file size for recorded video files on the system. Instead of
recording data as one large file, the system will divide the data into blocks of 15, 30, 45, or 60
minutes. This makes the recorded data easier to search.
Click APPLY to save your settings. Click CLOSE in the confirmation window.
