QUALITY (Image Quality) There are five image quality levels (LL, L, M, H, and HH). If you set this level to “HH”, then you get more clear images than in other levels, but a larger file size will result. On the other hand, if you set the level to “LL”, then it requires smaller file sizes, but you get less clear images compared to the images in “HH”.
those small motions recorded, and it will take much more time for you to search the data that you want. In addition, the available memory left for later decreases as the file size gets bigger, and the battery fades quickly. 4-2-1-4. FPS (Recording frames per second) Recording frames per second (FPS) depends on the different values for the Image Resolution.
At dawn, the light becomes bright from dark, generating a lot of noise when the SelfGuard is in such circumstance. And the Self-Guard may recognize those noises as a motion. In this case, you can set this level to “H” or “HH” to cut the noise. However, if you set the level to “H” or “HH”, then the motion detection algorithm of the Self-Guard may recognize the actual small motions as noise, and does not record those small motions. So, set the level to “M” except for the special cases. 4-2-1-7.
