2) Select a camera from the camera drop-down list.
3) View the Camera Resolution.

For -F series DVR, when Turbo HD, AHD, or HDCVI input is connected, you can view the information including the input signal type, resolution and frame rate (e.g., Turbo HD 720P25). When CVBS input is connected, you can view the information such as NTSC or PAL.

4) Configure the following parameters for the Main Stream (Continuous) and the Main Stream (Event): Stream Type: Set the stream type to be Video or Video & Audio.

Resolution: Set recording resolution.

i NOTE

- The DVR-200Q-K1 and DVR-200Q-K2 series DVR support up to 3 MP resolution for the first channel of DVR with 4-ch video inputs, the first 2 channels of DVR with 8-ch video inputs and the first 4 channels of DVR with 16-ch video inputs. When the 3 MP signal input is connected to the supported channel, the recording resolution will be adjusted to 3 MP and the frame rate will be adjusted to 12 fps automatically if the resolution and frame rate is not configured manually.

- For DVR-200Q-K1 and DVR-200Q-K2 series DVR, if the 3 MP camera is connected to the channel which supports up to 1080p signal input, it will switch to 1080p signal input. When the 3 MP signal is switched to 1080p signal, the PAL will be switched to 1080p/25Hz, and the NTSC will be switched to 1080p/30Hz.

- Four kinds of analog signal inputs including Turbo HD (including 3 MP, 1080p and 720p signal), AHD, HDCVI and CVBS can be connected. The analog signal inputs can be recognized automatically and can be mixed randomly.

- If the configured encoding resolution conflicts with the resolution of the front-end camera, the encoding parameters will adjust automatically to meet the front-end camera. E.g., if the resolution of the front-end camera is 720p, then the encoding resolution of the main stream will adjust to 720p automatically.

- The resolution of 960 × 1080 (1080P Lite) is available when the 1080P Lite is enabled in the Record>Advanced Settings interface (refer to Chapter 5.12 Configuring 1080P Lite).

- Please refer to the Appendix-Specifications for the supported resolutions of different models.

Bitrate Type: Set the bitrate type to be Variable or Constant.

Video Quality: Set the video quality of recording, with 6 levels configurable.

i NOTE

The Stream Type, Resolution, Bitrate Type and Video Quality are not configurable for the Main Stream (Event) of the IP Camera.

Frame Rate: Set the frame rate of recording.

Max. Bitrate Mode: Set the mode to General or Custom.

Max Bitrate (Kbps): Select or customize the maximum bit rate for recording.

Max. Bitrate Range Recommended: A recommended max. bit rate range is provided for reference.

Max. Average Bitrate (Kbps): Set the max. average bit rate which refers to the average amount of data transferred per unit of time.

Step 3 Check the checkbox of Enable H.264+ to enable this function. Enabling it helps to ensure the high video quality with a lowered bitrate.

i NOTE

● After enabling the H.264+, the Bitrate Type, Video Quality, Max. Bitrate Mode, Max. Bitrate(Kbps) and Max. Bitrate Range Recommend are not configurable.

● The H.264+ is not supported simultaneously with SVC.

- For the connected IP camera, the H.264+ should be supported by the camera and added to the DVR with the HIKVISION protocol.

● You should reboot the device to activate the new settings after enabling the H.264+.
