Parameter Description
The listed options depend on the standards
supported by the camera.
Resolution Image resolution.
Bitrate Type
 CBR: Constant Bit Rate (CBR) is used to
maintain a specific bit rate by varying the
quality of video streams. CBR is preferred
when limited bandwidth is available. The
disadvantage is that video quality will vary and
may decrease significantly with increased
motion in the scene.
 VBR: When using Variable Bit Rate (VBR),
video quality is kept as constant as possible, at
the cost of a varying bit rate, and regardless of
whether or not there is motion in the image.
VBR is ideal when high quality is a
requirement, especially when there is motion
in the picture.
Bit Rate(Kbps)
Number of bits transferred per second. Select a
value or select Custom and then set a value as
needed.
Range Bit rate range. Currently the range is fixed.
Frame Rate(fps) Number of frames per second.
Image Quality
This parameter is effective only when Bitrate Type is
set to VBR. 9 levels are provided.
I Frame Interval Number of frames between two adjacent I frames.
I Frame Range Range of I frames. Currently the range is fixed.
Smoothing
Use the slider to control the sudden increase of bit
rate.
Audio Stream Enable or disable audio stream.
Smart Encoding
The advanced mode achieves higher compression
ratios.
