Configuring Custom Video Streams
Custom Video Stream Configuration contains settings for customizing your camera’s primary, secondary,
and tertiary video streams. Each stream can be configured independently, although the Aspect Ratio and
Maximum Frame Rate settings will limit the options available for the remaining setting and depending on
the processing demands of your stream settings.
By default, all fields under Video Configuration are populated with settings from your Video Presets. You
can clear all fields or use the default settings as a starting point for your custom stream.
1. Set the Maximum Frame Rate and Aspect Ratio settings.
l Maximum Frame Rate: The maximum number of video frames contained per second. Higher
values result in higher quality video with less flicker but consume more bandwidth.
l Aspect Ratio: The ratio of height to width of the video frame.
2. Configure the following video stream settings:
l Stream Name: This setting is typically Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary, however you can enter
any stream name of your choosing.
l Enable: This setting provides the ability to turn any stream ON or OFF. Select Enable from the
drop down menu to turn the stream on or Disable to turn it off.
l Compression Standards: Available compression standards include MJPEG, H.264, and H.265.
– H264: Compression standard used in high-definition video players such as Blu-ray™ and
HD-DVD. H.264 is the most processor-intensive compression.
– H.265: An improvement of H.264 that provides better compression efficiency while
improving image quality and lowering processor workload.
– MJPEG: Provides the least impact on the camera's processor, but it requires the most
bandwidth.
l Resolution: The quality of the video stream, rendered in pixels for both width and height. Higher
values result in greater video quality but consume more bandwidth.
l Image Rate: The number of frames per second (fps) available for the video stream
configuration. Available image rates depend upon the model of the device that you are using.
l Bit Rate: The quality of the video stream, rendered in kilobits per second. Higher values result
in greater video quality but consume more bandwidth.
l I-Frame Interval: Determines the number of partial frames that occur between intra-coded
frames (I-frames) in your video stream. I-frames are complete images, used as a reference for
change. Following an I-frame, the camera will capture and encode only video data in the scene
differing from the I-frame until the next I-frame.
Note
: The I-Frame Interval setting is only available for H.264 and H.265 video streams.
Increasing the I-frame interval can improve video compression rates and reduce the size
of video data; however, higher values are recommended only for highly-reliable networks.
l Profile: Defines the subset of bit stream features in an H.264 or H.265 stream, which includes
color reproduction and additional video compression. It is important to select a profile that is
