8 Recording
The video signals will be recorded on the internal
hard disks. These hard disks must be formatted
before making the first recordings with the video
recorder. To save storage space, the video signals
will be compressed according to the highly efficient
standard H.264 (MPEG-4 /AVC). The image quality
of the recording (and thus the compression rate) will
be adjustable.
It will be possible to record the camera signals
permanently, according to a schedule or depending
on events (automatic motion detection or signal at
one of the alarm inputs). The recording status will be
inserted in the lower left corner of the image dis-
played on the main monitor:
REC = permanent or time-controlled recording
EVENT ONLY = recording in case of events only
Additionally, the indication
RREECC (5) on the recorder
will flash to indicate recording.
8.1 Settings for recording
