Setup 

Set Date/Time 

This setting allows for setting up the battery backed-up real-time clock.  The real-time 
clock is used to automatically generate file names for saved video files and snapshots.  
There is also an option of having the date/time overlay present in recorded video and 
snapshots. 

 
Video 

 

Video Standard 

Allows selecting between NTSC and PAL video formats. 
 

Interpolate 

Turning interpolation on gets rid of motion artifacts at an expense of some vertical 
resolution loss.  The default setting is ON. 
 

Video Bit Rate 

Determines the compression level of recorded video.  The higher the bit rate, the 

higher is the quality, the more space is required on the storage device.  The selection 
is from 1000kbps to 5000kbps.  The default setting is 3500kbps.  At the default 
setting of 3500kbps, a minimum of 8 hours can be recorded onto a 16GB storage 
device. 
 

Playback Seek 

Adjust the amount of the time skipped when using Rewind and Fast Forward 
functions. Default is 10. 

 
Snapshot Quality 

Determines the compression level of snapshot.  The higher the quality, the more 
space is required on the storage device.  The available settings are 97 (best) down to 
50. Default is 90. 

 
Snapshot Overlay 

Turning on this setting allows the text overlay to be shown in Snapshots. Default is 
On.
