2 Software Operation
2.1 Selecting a Folder to Save Images
This software records camera images to the hard disk on your PC. The folder can 
be changed. After the camera is registered, destination folders are automatically 
created in the selected folder. The recorded images are saved in the destination 
folders.
 If the destination folder is not selected, the recorded images are saved into the 
destination folders at the destination folder where Network Camera Recorder 
is installed.
 You can change the destination folder to another folder or external hard disk 
drives.
Notes
 The folder must have more than 100 MB free capacity.
 The level of the folder-hierarchy depth must be within 6 to prevent the system 
from getting unstable.
 The recorded images in the destination folder are displayed on the screen. If 
you change the destination folder, the recorded images in the former folder are 
not displayed.
 File sizes of recorded images listed below can be used as a baseline. (1 frame 
size)
 Recorded capacity can be calculated by 
Size (KB) x Frame Rate (frames per second) x time (second).
E.g.
640 x 480 resolution, Favor Clarity and 12 frames per second for an hour 
settings
50 (KB) x 12 (fps) x 3,600 (s) = 2,160,000 (About 2.06 GB)
If the audio is attached, add 4 KB per second.
2,160,000 (KB) + 4 (KB) x 3,600 (s) = 2,174,400 (About 2.08 GB) Resolution ItemsFavor
