and recorded videos on the local PC. There is also an option to enable or disable the
bitrate display in the recorded files.
Additionally, the Local Smart Snapshot Storage can be enabled or disabled here.
3.1.4 Storage
Go to ConfigSystemStorage to go to the interface as shown below.

12
Micro-SD Card Management
Click the “Format” button to format the micro-SD card. All data will be erased by
clicking this button.
Click the “Eject” button to stop writing data to micro-SD card. Then the micro-SD card
can be removed safely.
Snapshot Quota: set the capacity of captured pictures on the micro-SD card.
Video Quota: set the capacity of record files on the micro-SD card.
Schedule Recording Settings
1. Go to ConfigSystemStorageRecord to go to the interface as shown below.
2. Set record stream, pre-record time, cycle writing.
Pre Record Time: Set the time to record before the actual recording begins.
3. Set schedule recording. Check “Enable Schedule Record” and set the schedule.

13
Weekly schedule
Set the alarm record time from Monday to Sunday for a single week. Each day is
divided in one hour. Green means scheduled. Blank means unscheduled.

snapshot interval and quantity and the timing snapshot here.
Snapshot Quantity: is the maximum quantity of snapshots. The actual quantity of
snapshots may be less than this number. Supposing the occurrence time of an alarm
event is less than the time of capturing pictures, the actual quantity of snapshots is
less than the set quantity of snapshots.
Enable Timing Snapshot: enable timing snapshot first and then set the snapshot
interval and schedule. The setup steps of schedule are the same as the schedule
recording.

3.2 Image Configuration
Image Configuration includes Display, Video/Audio, OSD, Video Mask and ROI
Config.
3.2.1 Display Configuration
Go to ImageDisplay Settings interface as shown below. The image’s brightness,
contrast, hue and saturation and so on for common, day and night mode can be set
up separately. The image effect can be quickly seen by switching the configuration
file.
Brightness: set the brightness level.
Contrast: set the contrast.
Hue: set the hue.
Saturation: set the saturation.
Sharpness: set the sharpness.
Noise Reduction: decrease the noise to make the image more thorough. Increasing
the value will make the noise reduction effect better but it will reduce the image
resolution.
Defog: activate this function and set an appropriate value as needed in foggy, dusty,
smoggy or rainy environment to get clear images.
Backlight Compensation (BLC):
Off: disables the backlight compensation function (default).

15
HWDR: WDR can adjust the camera to provide a better image when there are
both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the field of the view by lowering
the brightness of the bright area and increasing the brightness of the dark area.
Recording will be stopped for a few seconds while the mode is changing from
non-WDR to WDR mode.
HLC: lowers the brightness of the entire image by suppressing the brightness of
the image’s bright area and reducing the size of the halo area.
BLC: If enabled, the auto exposure will activate according to the scene so that the
object of the image in the darkest area will be seen clearly.
HFR: High Frame Rate. If “ON” is selected, the system will restart and then the
maximum value of the frame rate of the main stream can be set to 60 fps /50fps.
Antiflicker:
Off: disables the anti-flicker function. This is used in outdoor installations.
50Hz: reduces flicker in 50Hz lighting conditions.
60Hz: reduces flicker in 60Hz lighting conditions.
Smart IR: ON or OFF. This function can effectively avoid image overexposure and
underexposure by controlling the brightness of the IR lights according to the
conditions.
White Balance: adjust the color temperature according to the environment
automatically.
Frequency: 50Hz or 60Hz.
Day/Night Mode: Auto, Day, Night or Timing.
Exposure Mode: Auto or Manual. If manual is chosen, the digital shutter speed can
be adjusted.
Corridor Pattern: corridor viewing modes can be used for situations such as long
hallways. 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° are available. The default value is 0°. The video
resolution should be 1080p or below if this function is used.
Image Mirror: turn the current video image horizontally.
Image Flip: turn the current video image vertically.
Schedule Settings of Image Parameters.
Click the “Schedule” tab as shown below.
Set full time schedule for common, day, night mode and specific time schedule for day
and night mode. Choose “Schedule” in the drop-down box as shown below.

16
Drag “ ” icons to set the time of day and night. Blue means day time and blank means
night time. If the current mode of camera parameters is set to schedule, the image
configuration mode will automatically switch between day and night according to the
schedule.
3.2.2 Video / Audio Configuration
Go to ImageVideo / Audio interface as shown below. In this interface, set the
resolution, frame rate, bitrate type, video quality and so on.
Click the “Audio” tab to go to the interface as shown below.
Three video streams can be adjustable.
Resolution: image resolution.
Frame rate: the higher the frame rate, the video is smoother.
Bitrate type: CBR or VBR. Bitrate is related to image quality. CBR means that no
matter how much change is seen in the video scene, the bitrate will be kept constant.
VBR means that the bitrate will be adjusted according to scene changes.
Bitrate: it can be adjusted when the mode is set to CBR. The higher the bitrate, the
better the image quality will be.
Video Quality: it can be adjusted when the mode is set to VBR. The higher the image
quality, more bitrate will be required.
I Frame interval: it determines how many frames are allowed between a “group of
pictures”. When a new scene begins in a video, until that scene ends, the entire group
of frames (or pictures) can be considered as a group of pictures. If there is not much
movement in the scene, setting the value higher than the frame rate is fine, potentially
