Enable Speedup

The speedup feature lets you use a higher than normal frame rate if motion is detected and/or an event occurs. When you enable speedup, further columns for specifying speedup details become available.

Frame Rate

Speedup frame rate for viewing video from the camera. Select the 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.

Time Unit

Select the required unit for live and recording frame rates (per second, minute, or hour).

Note that you can only select time bases that let you speed up frame rates.

Example: If you have specified 15 frames per second in normal mode, you cannot specify 16 frames per minute or hour in speedup mode.

Speedup On

• Motion Detection: Select this option to speed up when the system detects motion. The system goes back to using normal frame rates once it has detected the last motion.
• Event: Select this option to speed up when an event occurs and until another event occurs. You can only use speedup on event if you have defined events, and if you have selected start and stop events in the neighboring columns.
  Use the Configure events list located below the other fields to define events that suit your needs.
• Motion Detection & Event: Select this option to speed up when the system detects motion, or when an event occurs and until another event occurs. Remember to select start and stop events in the neighboring columns.

Schedule Only

Select this option to speed up according to the camera's speedup schedule only.

Start Event

Select the relevant start event. The camera begins to use the speedup frame rates when the start event occurs.

Stop event

Select the relevant start event. The camera returns to the normal frame rates when the stop event occurs.

Camera

Click the Open button to configure detailed and/or camera-specific settings (such as event notification, PTZ preset positions, and fisheye view areas) for the selected camera.

Live Frame Rate

The required average frame rate for live video from the camera. Select the 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.

If the camera supports dual stream and you have enabled dual stream, the Live Frame Rate column is read-only with the value Dual streaming. You cannot change this.

Recording Frame Rate

The required average frame rate for recorded video from the camera. Select the number of frames, then select the time unit interval (second, minute or hour).
