CORTEX- VMS Configuration manual - Qvis Security

• Video compression – compression level of the video sent by the cameras. The label underneath shows
the current minimal, maximal and average compression level of the selected cameras.
• Audio compression – compression level of the audio sent by the cameras. The label underneath shows
the current minimal, maximal and average compression level of the selected cameras.
The above parameters can be altered in two ways:
• Relative – for each camera – change a setting to a lower level (by clicking the “-“ button) or higher level
(by clicking the “+” button) than the current settings. To change a parameter relatively, select the
Relative option next to it.
• Absolute – for all cameras. Setting the Absolute option next to a parameter allows to set the same
parameter value for all selected cameras.
The Record video and Record audio parameters can only be changed absolutely. If these parameters are not
set, the selected cameras will not have this option changed (recording will stay switched on the cameras which
had it switched on previously and the cameras which had it switched off previously will stay switched off).
Clicking the OK button will change the parameters of the selected cameras and go back to the Recording
settings window. After closing this window, the calculation of bit rate, storage space and estimated recording time
will begin again with the new settings. This process can take up to a few minutes, depending on the number of
cameras in the system.
Clicking the Cancel button will close the window without changing any recording parameters of the cameras.
