Editing the recording settings for a camera

Use the recording tab to edit a camera's recording settings.

Note: The recording tab is not available on RTSP interfaces, some ONVIFs, or proprietary interfaces.
  1. In the Camera Settings window select the Recording tab.
  2. Select the Enable check box to record video from a camera at the times you specify in the Schedule tab.
  3. Use the Quality slider to modify the image quality in the video by increasing or decreasing the image size. Decreasing the image quality saves disk space by reducing the size of the video as it records.
  4. From the Format list, select a different compression format to improve the compatibility with other systems.
  5. From the Resolution list, select the resolution size for the video recording.
  6. From the Image Rate , select how many images to record per second.
  7. Optional: Click Apply Defaults to apply the factory default settings.
