Scruit 0 Posted November 21, 2007 I'm trying to decide if I should run my 4ch Avermedia EB1304MOB in D1 or CIF format. At D1 I get 15fps per channel. At CIF I get 30fps per channel. The purpose of the DVR is not to capture license plates or to recognize faces - just to show things like lane position, traffic lights etc. Because of that I'm considering dropping the resolution to CIF. The benefits would be longer recording time and smooth playback. The risk is the lower quality recording might miss important details. What factors do you consider when deciding of CIF versus D1?

CollinR 0 Posted November 22, 2007 I always use D1/VGA or higher, in your case where you need not identify anything I dunno. Sounds to me like ~7fps wouldn't be too bad for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sajaan458 0 Posted November 25, 2007 In your case CIF should work just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
