Milestone XProtect Basis+ 6.5; Administrator’s Manual
Tip: When you specify a frame rate, the interval between images is automatically calculated
and displayed to the right of the frame rate fields.
Specifically for cameras using MPEG: For MPEG cameras you can select predefined frame rates, and
it is not possible to select unit. The number of seconds between each image is still calculated.
Recording Settings
The Recording Settings section lets you specify the camera’s recording settings in the following
fields:
• Required framerate: Specify required number of frames in the first field, and select
required unit (per Second, per Minute, or per Hour) from the list. When you specify a frame
rate, the interval between images is automatically calculated and displayed to the right of
the frame rate fields.
Specifically for Cameras Using MPEG: Instead of selecting required frame rate, you are able
to select a Frame Type. Select All to record everything; that is similar to having the same
frame rate for speedup and for recording. Select Key frame if you wish only to record key
frames and ignore changes between the key frames; that means that you typically record
one frame per second.
• Enable speedup: XProtect Basis+ is able to increase the frame rate of a camera if motion
is detected, or if an event occurs. Select the check box to enable increased frame rate on
motion detection or on an event, then specify the required conditions in the following fields.
Tip: In the Camera/Alert Scheduler window (see page 64) you can specify periods in
which the camera should always speedup.
o
On motion: Available only if the Enable speedup check box is selected. Select this
check box to use a higher frame rate when motion is detected. Remember to
specify the required higher frame rate in the Speedup settings section. The camera
will return to the original frame rate two seconds after the last motion is detected.
o
On event: Available only if the Enable speedup check box is selected. Select the
check box to use a higher frame rate when an event occurs and until another event
occurs, then select required start and stop events in the Start and Stop lists. The
camera will increase its frame rate when the start event occurs, and return to the
original frame rate when the stop event occurs. Remember to specify the required
higher frame rate in the Speedup settings section.
Note: Use of speedup on event requires that at least one event (I/O or VMD event)
has been defined. Read more about events in About Input, Events & Output ... on
page 73.
• When to store images in the database: Select when video received from the camera
should be stored in the database:
o
Always: Always store all received video in the database.
o
Never: Never store any received video in the database. Live video will be displayed,
but, since no video is kept in the database, users will not be able to browse video
from the camera.
o
Conditionally: Store received video in the database when certain conditions are
met. When you select this option, specify required conditions in the following fields.
On motion: Available only when the option Conditionally is selected, i.e.
when video received from the camera should be stored in the database on
