scorpion 0 Posted May 13, 2008 I cannot remember off of the top of my head. That should be the lowest setting. 12 is a PAL setting. Is this correct? I think you should change it to 100 if you want less of a "snapshot" look to your video. If you need to have a long "storage" time then pick a number in the middle range. If will give you less snapshots, and not fill up the hard drive as much. I think you are recording in CIF mode? Is this correct? The highest number for Frame Recording is 25. Would you prefer to use Motion Detection instead of recording 24/7? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rory 0 Posted May 13, 2008 CIF is the lowest quality (actually resolution). Change it to D1 or 4 CIF if it doesnt have D1. BEST should be the "best" actual quality setting, but if it goes to ULTRA or SUPER before it goes back to LOW then use one of those instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

si_kungs 0 Posted May 14, 2008 FPS recording qualty is better than CIF. but occupies more space. sir scorpion what do you use CIF of FPS? also changing this options can affect the internet transmission format? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorpion 0 Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) FPS recording qualty is better than CIF. but occupies more space. sir scorpion what do you use CIF of FPS? What do I personally use, or what do I set up for my customers? My customers are an Entry Level Based Clientle. They may not be able to afford a 500 GB Hard Drive. Most Times they want an 80GB HD based on price. I would really recommend a 250GB hard drive. What would I select? That is a hard one. I have to base it on each individual customer's needs. Do they need long term savings of video? Do they need to see good details (based on an entry level DVR). Will they look at the video on some kind of schedule, or when there is only a problem, or God forbid only after a tragedy such as stolen money, or product? I cannot answer your question, but the DVRs are set for CIF for the most part, and set at BEST. also changing this options can affect the internet transmission format? I really do not know! I am interested in this question. I ordered an a Nubix 4BC and I will try that out between some projects. This will be really interesting. My Customers never have asked about this, so I am caught off guard on this one. Edited May 14, 2008 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
si_kungs 0 Posted May 14, 2008 ok. so it will be based on how long the retention of the video will be. what settings do we need to set on the fps for a courier service warehouse? can 7 fps do the job? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorpion 0 Posted May 14, 2008 ok. so it will be based on how long the retention of the video will be. what settings do we need to set on the fps for a courier service warehouse? can 7 fps do the job? How many cameras, and what kind of cameras? What kind of DVR? Are you talking about entry points (doors, and windows)? Are you watching job performance issues? Is there a cash counting office? Why did this customer call you? What are they "afraid" of most that they require video surveillance? If there is a theft, how much money (or products) will they lose?

si_kungs 0 Posted May 14, 2008 I need to extend their recording retention. so i need to know how low am i going to set the fps. because right now it is set to 15fps already. How many cameras, and what kind of cameras? 16 cameras. 420TVL bullet type and box type What kind of DVR? 16CH H.264 DVR. SVDVR is the brand ( not familiar with the brand, dvr came from china) Are you talking about entry points (doors, and windows)? some are on entry point, receiving area and most cameras are focused on storage area Are you watching job performance issues? it will be used to monitor cargo to prevent it from being stolen and misplaced. so they can track the person responsible Is there a cash counting office? there is none. since it is a central warehouse . What are they "afraid" of most that they require video surveillance? to see who is responsible for the missing items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davec 0 Posted May 14, 2008 I have my avtech avc 760 set to frame rather than cif. The recorded video is 720 x 480 rather than 352 x 200 for cif. The recorded frame rate can only record 30 fps divided by the number of cameras up to the 4. about 7.5 fps. It seems to be plenty good for what I need.
