If the camera uses the MPEG video format

Available functionality depends on the system you are using. See the Product comparison chart for more information.

With MPEG, you can define frame rate and other settings:

Frame rate per second

Frame rate for viewing live and recorded video from the camera. Select number of frames per second.

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 event

Allows you to make exceptions if you have selected to record keyframes only. Select this check box to record all frames when an event occurs and until another event occurs. Use of this feature requires that events have been defined, and that you select start and stop events in the neighboring lists.

Use the Configure events list located below the other fields to define events that suit your needs.

Start Event

Use when recording on Event or Motion Detection and Event. Select the relevant start event. The camera begins recording all frames when the start event occurs.

Stop Event

Select the relevant stop event. The camera stops recording keyframes when the stop event occurs.

Dual stream:

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 camera's resolution.

FPS

Select the camera's live frame rate per second (FPS)

Important: This feature is only available on cameras supporting dual stream.
