Following is a brief description for each item and its specic operations:
• REC Resolution – the record resolution for all the cameras in the system. For NTSC, it can be 720x480,
720x240, or 360x240; for PAL, 720x576, 720x288, or 360x288. Press +/- buttons to select the resolution.
• Watermark - press ENTER buttons to change the value. The watermark will permanently record time and
date over the video clips. This is very important when logging video data, and using video as evidence.
• Installed – whether this camera is installed or not. Press ENTER or +/- to check/uncheck this item. The
default setting is “” - checked. When the camera is checked saying it is installed you can adjust the
settings of that camera in the Camera Settings menu. If it is not checked, no adjustments can be made.
• PTZ ID – the PTZ ID of this camera if it’s a PTZ camera. The PTZ ID has to be consistent with the setting of this
camera. Please refer to the manual of the camera for the ID settings. Press +/- buttons to change the value
(N/A or 0-255). The default setting is “N/A” – Not Available, which means that it’s not a PTZ camera.
