� Rec Video: Enable the recording function. Use the drop-down list to select the desired recording<br />

mode: Motion Detect, Round-the-Clock or Day/Night.<br />

� Recording Codec: Select the method of recording compression for your video: Geo Mpeg4,<br />

Geo H264 or Geo H264 V2.<br />

Geo Mpeg4: It supports a number of advanced settings that allow experienced users to adjust<br />

the encoding process. For details, see Geo Mpeg4 Advanced Settings later in this chapter.<br />

Geo H264 <strong>and</strong> Geo H264 V2: Provides a much smaller compressed file size than any other<br />

available codec yet without compromising the image quality. Compared to Geo H264, Geo<br />

H264 V2 provides a smaller compressed file size, but has a lower frame rate <strong>and</strong> higher CPU<br />

usage.<br />

� Right-Arrow button: Brings up the Day-Night Recording Mode setup dialog box (Figure 1-13).<br />

For details on Day/Night mode, see Setting Day-Night Recording Mode later in this chapter.<br />

� Apply Advanced Codec Setting: See Geo Mpeg4 Advanced Settings later in this<br />

chapter.<br />

The Advanced Codec Setup button also includes the function of noise detection. See Noise<br />

Detection to Reduce File Size later in this chapter.<br />

� Invoke Alarm: Sends computer alarm (.wav sound file) on motion detection.<br />

� Invoke to Send Alerts: Sends an assigned alert (E-Mail/Hotline/SMS) when motion<br />

occurs. Use the slider to specify the motion duration to invoke the alert. The choices<br />

include High (0.5 seconds), Normal (1 second), <strong>and</strong> Low (1.5 seconds). For example,<br />

suppose you choose High. When motion remains for 0.5 seconds, the alert will be sent<br />

out.<br />

For e-mail alerts, see E-Mail Notification later in this chapter; for hotline alerts, see Hotline<br />

Notification later in this chapter; for SMS alerts, see Short Message Service in Chapter 10.<br />

� Right-Arrow button: Sets the time to delay the activation of the assigned alerts<br />

(E-Mail/Hotline/SMS).
