You can set Continuous Recording with the frame rate of 0.1 to 30 frames per second when creating a Normal Schedule or Special Day Schedule (The upper limit is 5 fps with VK-Lite).

Specify the number of still images to record every second from the [fps] drop-down menu.

Higher [fps] value generates smooth video, however, the load on the Storage Server or network goes higher. Video data quantity also increases to consume hard disk space.

To configure the Camera Server for recording:

Set Recording Mode

1. Check the [Continuously at Max.] check box if you want to set continuous recording for the time period.

2. Select a frame rate for recorded video from the drop-down menu, or input a value from the keyboard.

You can set the frame rate from 0.1 to 30 frames per second. The default setting is 5 seconds.

Note

• When the load on Storage Server CPU and hard disk is higher, recording at the specified frame rate may not be available, or the video recording may be interrupted.
• Higher frame rates for result in larger disk usage. Please ensure that you have enough disk space.
• The specified frame rate is the frame rate that the Storage Server will attempt to record, however may not be the actual frame rate used for recording video. Factors such as the number of Viewers, load on the Camera Server and the Storage Server, and network traffic may reduce the actual frame rate recorded. Also, the maximum frame rate for a VB-C10 configured with a resolution of 640 x 480 is 0 frames per second, and for a VB150 with 4 cameras is 2 to 3 frames per second.
• While the [Resolution] is set to [MPEG-4], the frame rate drop-down menu is gray out. However, the video is recorded at the frame rate specified in VB-C500VD, VB-C500D or VB-C60 setting page at that point.
