PPS

PPS stands for Pictures Per Second and refers to how many pictures will be captured in 1 second. The more PPS, the smoother the video, and the less

PPS the more choppy the video will appear.

Normal Record PPS will adjust the PPS for Full record and Manual Record mode.

Alarm Record PPS will adjust the PPS for motion detection and external alarm detection. Generally the normal record PPS will be lower to minimize

the amount of HDD space used when non-important events are happening and the alarm record PPS is higher to use smooth video recording when

motion or alarms are triggered.

To Change the Normal Record PPS:

1. Select to set the Normal Record PPS.

2. Use the mouse wheel or the directional buttons to adjust the PPS, the maximum PPS

per camera is 30 PPS.

3. When in 720 x 240, you can change each camera’s PPS individually, and you have 120

PPS to distribute between the attached cameras.

4. When in 360 x 240 the Normal PPS will change by two channels at a time (1 and 2, 3

and 4, 5 and 6 etc...) You will have a total of 240 PPS to distribute across the attached

cameras.

5. Press ENTER or Select

to save settings and return to record setup menu.

6. Exit the record setup menu to save changes.

7. Exit the main menu

. The DVR will take a few moments to load the settings.

Changing the resolution will aect the picture quality. A higher resolution will produce a better quality

picture; however, footage recorded in a higher resolution will take up more space on the hard drive. The

higher the resolution causes the maximum number of PPS (pictures per second) be lowered.

Note: For each setting, you can also click the

‘Average’ box at the bottom of the menu

screen to divide the PPS evenly across all

of the attached cameras. If no cameras

are attached the average option will not

distribute the PPS to any camera.
