Dual-stream control technology is provided in some DVRs to address limitations in the
network bandwidth and for achieving higher quality video images. This means that the code
stream can be divided into two different (including resolution, frame rate, image quality) parts
when coding. The Main code stream is used for local real-time recording that can be set to a
higher quality setting whereas the secondary code stream can be set at a lower quality setting
for a network connection. This technology therefore provides both a high-quality recording
with lower impacts on network resource.

“Cancel” button to cancel the connection if required. The progress bar will automatically
disappear after successful connection. Surveillance signal will be shown in the video channel.
