must be sure that you have run our Exalted version at remote, and have host
this H264 user name "timhillone" or "Mike" already! This H264 User is designed
for people who use dial up to connect to the internet and which in turn causes
the IP Address to change frequently. If this H264 User should be valid for

you select "All Channel" in list, your new settings will be copied to all
channels!Step
2 - Select one record format in list, then change
video encode type, audio encode type, bit-rate, and some OSD information! Such
as channel title, date osd and time osd.
a) If you want to record one channel to MP4, MOV files, you can select
H264, XVID or Mpeg4 video encoder type along with AAC audio encoder.
b) If you want to record one channel to FLV, SWF files, you can select H264,
FLV1 video encoder type along with MP3 audio encoder.
c) If you want to record one channel to ASF files, you can select
MSMPEG4, WMV3 video encoder and MP3, WMA audio encoder.
d) If this channel will connect to an ip camera, our software will
directly get video stream and audio stream from it. But if it's encoder type
can not be compatible with the record type of this channel, our software will
re-encode video or audio to an appropriate format, this will cost more cpu
resource! AVI file format can hold many encoder, so you can select an
appropriate encoder to avoid re-encode video.
e) To avoid one record file is too long, you can select every 20
minutes to change new record file, or every 45 minutes to switch record file!
AVI, MP4, MOV file format need to be close exactly, otherwise all this file can
not be played normally!
f) For all channels, you can change the record format, such as AVI,
MP4, FLV etc, but you can not select video encoder and video bitrate for some
ip cameras, such as mpeg4 ip camera, H.264 ip cameras! Because our software
will directly save the raw video stream getting from the ip camera to record
files! Or our software will automatically select a right video encoder for your
record format.
g) The channel record format will influence the remote viewer, such as "Win
Media Viewer" need ASF or WMV record format! "QuickTime Viewer" and "RealPlayer
Viewer" need MP4 or MOV record format! "Flash Viewer" need FLV or SWF record
format! The "ActiveX Viewer" and "Simple Jpeg Viewer" have no relation with the
channel record format, so it can view all channel video from remote!
