The frame rate will decrease if you select a higher resolution�
■ Intra frame period
Determine how often to plant an I frame� The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get
better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption� Select the intra
frame period from the following durations: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3
seconds, and 4 seconds�
Video quality
Constant bit rate:
Constant bit rate: A complex scene generally produces a larger file size, meaning
that higher bandwidth will be needed for data transmission� The bandwidth
utilization is congurable to match a selected level, resulting in mutable video quality
performance. The bit rates are selectable at the following rates: 20Kbps, 30Kbps,
40Kbps, 50Kbps, 64Kbps, 128Kbps, 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 768Kbps, 1Mbps, 2Mbps,
3Mbps, 4Mbps, 6Mbps, 8Mbps, 10Mbps, 12Mbps, 14Mbps, and 16Mbps� You can
also select Customize and manually enter a value�
- Target bit rate: select a bit rate from the pull-down menu. The bit rate ranges from
20kbps to a maximum of 8Mbps� The bit rate then becomes the Average or Upper
bound bit rate number� The Network Camera will strive to deliver video streams
around or within the bit rate limitation you impose�
- Policy: If Frame Rate Priority is selected, the Network Camera will try to maintain
the frame rate per second performance, while the image quality will be compromised�
If Image quality priority is selected, the Network Camera may drop some video
frames in order to maintain image quality�
Fixed quality: On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are
transmitted with the same quality; bandwidth utilization is therefore unpredictable�
The video quality can be adjusted to the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good,
Detailed, and Excellent� You can also select Customize and manually enter a value�
- Maximum bit rate: With the guaranteed image quality, you might still want to place
a bit rate limitation to control the size of video streams for bandwidth and storage
concerns. The congurable bit rate starts from 1Mbps to 40Mbps.
The Maximum bit rate setting in the Fixed quality configuration can ensure a
reasonable and limited use of network bandwidth� For example, in low light conditions
where a Fixed quality setting is applied, video packet sizes can tremendously
increase when noises are produced with electrical gain�
You may also manually enter a bit rate number by selecting the Customized option�
