To provide adequate support for future investigation of video footage, you can increase
the video quality of the recording stream when important events occur.
What you should know
To save storage space, the video stream used for recording is typically of a lower quality
(lower frame rate or lower image resolution) than the stream used for live viewing.
Boost quality on event recording settings have priority over the Boost quality on
manual recording settings. The length of the video quality boost depends on the event
type, and the camera’s recording settings.
To boost video recording quality on important events:
-
From the Config
Tool home page, open the
Video task.
-
Select the camera to configure, and then click the Video
tab.
-
Turn ON one or both of the automatic boost quality
settings:
Boost quality on manual recording:
Temporarily boosts video quality when a
Security
Desk user manually starts the
recording by clicking the
Record (
) button or the
Add bookmark (
)
button.
Boost quality on event recording:
Temporarily boosts video quality when a system event triggers the recording: the
Start recording action was
executed, an alarm was triggered, or because of a motion event.
-
In the Video quality section, configure the boost quality
settings.
-
Click Apply.
