Configuring Main System
Frame/Sec: Allows you to adjust camera’s recording frame rate. There are three options available:
Smart, High, and Low.
Smart: The system will distribute as many frame rates as possible to the camera where
motion occurs.
High: The system will distribute high percentage of frames (not a definite frame number) to
the selected camera while the other cameras will share rest of the frame rates. Assuming that
all cameras are in action, selecting High ensures this camera always receive higher frame
rate than the rest of the cameras. Effect can be seen in live mode.
Low: The system will distribute low percentage of frame rates to the selected camera.
Assuming that all cameras are in action, certain cameras are of least importance. The system
can be set Low in order to allow frame rate to go to more important cameras.
Frame Rate Button: Allows you to set the maximum recording frame rate of this camera to save
storage space. For details, see Economic Mode in Chapter 2.

Motion Sensitivity: There are 10 levels of sensitivity for motion detection. And there are further
sublevels from 9 to 9.9. The default value is set to 9.5. The higher the value, the more sensitive
the system is to the motion.
Mask Filter: Mask instructs the system to ignore movement within the masked area. Mask could
be applied to repetitive motion that should be ignored within the surveillance area, such as street
trees.
Noise Tolerance: This function reduces false alarms and unwanted recordings caused by
weather or light changes without changing video quality. The level of noise tolerance can be
adjusted. For details, see Video Noise Solutions later in this chapter.
