Video Quality Caution
Frame Rate Notice Regarding User Selected Options
Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be
used in lower quality modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the
amount of video data stored. The picture quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or
both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution may result in an image that is less clear oreven indiscernible. A picture
degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second, which can result in images that appear to jump or move
more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event not being recorded by the system.
Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users' purposes is solely the users' responsibility. Users shall determine the
suitability of the products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the
video for evidentiary purposes in a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any
particular requirements for such use.
