SPYCLEOPS™

- Standard: "PAL" is default setting. "NTSC" is the standard for North America and will need to be selected for a clearer picture. If you are outside of North America you will need to check to see what standard your country uses

*Note: Any time you change the resolution, the system will have to be rebooted to make changes

RESOLUTION
SCREEN SIZE

800 x 600	780 x 430
1024 x 768	1000 x 600
1280 x 1024	1180 x 850
1920 x 1080p 50Hz/60Hz	Most standard televisions

3.3 Encode Set-

*Note: If you have your target bitrate, but are having trouble achieving an acceptable quality video, you will have to cut back in some aspect. The contributing factors that will lead to a higher video bitrate are the amount of pixels (the resolution of the video), the frame rate, and the amount of motion present

- Channel: You can assign different settings to each channel (camera view). Remember after choosing all the settings for each channel to hit "OK" and right click twice to save

- Stream: This is where you will set the settings for your main stream and sub stream. The main stream is the stream you will see locally and can support "D1" encode format. Sub stream is the stream you will see remotely from your phone so you wont need higher resolution, it should be "CIF" format

- Encode Mode: Select "Video only" for encoding video, select "AV stream" for encoding video and audio

- Bitrate mode: This will be dependant on your bandwidth and specific needs

Constant Bitrate	This is the default encoding mode, and also the most basic. In this mode, the bitrate will be the same for the whole file. It means that each part of your video file will be using the same number of bits. The complex parts will be of a lower quality than the easiest ones. The main advantage is that the final files size won't change and can be accurately predicted.This mode is not recommended
Average Bitrate	In this mode, you choose a target bitrate and the encoder will try to constantly maintain an average bitrate while using higher bitrates for the parts of your video that need more bits. The result will be of higher quality than CBR encoding while the average file size will remain predictable, so this mode is highly recommended over CBR.
Variable Bitrate	In this mode, you choose the desired quality on a scale going from 9 (lowest quality/highest distortion) to 0 (highest quality/lowest distortion). Then you choose the optimal number of bits to spend for each part. The advantage is that you are able to specify the quality level that you want to reach; the inconvenient is that the final file size is totally unpredictable.

• Encode format: For the main stream we recommend NTSC with D1 format

	QCIF	CIF	HD1	D1
NTSC	176 x 120	352 x 240	720 x 480	720x576
PAL	176 x 144	352 x 288	352 x 576	704 x 480

- Rate: In general, we recommend a bitrate of around 2 - 2.5 Mbps, which takes into account the average worldwide broadband connections for video output

- Quality: You can adjust your image quality fluctuation. Highest, High, Medium, Low, Lowest. Highest is recommended, although it will effect your bandwidth

SPYCLOPS™

- Frame rate: The frame rate is how many unique consecutive images are displayed per second in the video to give the illusion of movement. Keep in mind, that the minimum limit that our brain needs to perceive moving frames as a video is 24 Frames per Second, so there is no big difference between 24 and 30 fps except the higher frame rate will effect your bandwidth and data storage

3.4 Record Setu

Use your mouse and click the right button to select "Setup" key, select "System setup", and select "Record Setup"

- Weekday: Choose the day you would like to set up, or you can choose "Everyday" if you want everyday to be recorded at the same times/settings.

"Time" will give a constant recording according to what time you have selected, and is shown in red on the time bar, "Motion" will only record when motion is detected and is shown in green on the time bar and "Sensor" Sensor option is not available in current models. The time bar will display which recording option is running for the full 24 hour day

*Note: "Motion" is recommended in order to save disk space

- Copy to: Select the target channel on the right. Then select "Copy to" and "OK". The system will set the current channel setup information to other channels selected or "all"
