compression and result in higher 
quality images with trade off for 
larger file sizes. Lower levels 
increase image compression 
reducing file sizes with the trade off 
for lower quality image detail. Valid 
numeric values that can be entered 
here are 16 to 36. The configured 
value will be constant default unless 
rate limit or constant bit rate control 
are selected 

ii. 

Enable Rate Limit

 this radio button 

enables operation of the bit rate limit 
feature for H.264 

iii. 

Rate limit

 this numeric field allows 

setting the maximum bit rate limit for 
Variable bit rate control. Valid values 
that can be entered are 0 to 65535 
kbps. When active the bit rate will 
vary depending on camera 
resolution, illumination, and scene 
content until it exceeds the 
configured limit. When this limit is 
exceeded image compression will be 
increased in attempt to keep the bit 
rate within the configured limit 

Constant Bitrate Control

 when active this 

radio button enables the constant bit rate 
control feature. Unlike variable bit rate 
control option constant bit rate control will 
set a hard limit for the bit rate. Image 
compression will be set to whatever value 
achieves the configured bit rate. This 
method of bit rate control can achieve a 
more consistent overall bit rate. Image 
quality will be dependent on camera 
resolution, illumination, and scene content 
based on the constant control limit 
configured 

i. 

Bitrate

 this numeric field allows 

setting the bit rate value for constant 

bit rate control. Valid values that can 
be entered are 0 to 65535 kbps 

Frames per second

 this slider bar control 

allows setting a frame rate output limit for 
the H.264 video stream. Default value is 
“Max” minimum fps is 1. Reducing the frame 
rate output is another way to control the 
bandwidth used for the H.264 video 
streaming from the camera trade off is the 
obvious reduction of frame rate output at the 
camera 

5.  Focus Menu 

 

 

Adjusting the Remote Focus and  Remote 
Zoom 

i. 

To manually adjust zoom, click the 
“+20”, “+5”, “+1”, “-20”, “-5”, “-1” 
buttons to zoom in and out, adjusting 
the field of view 

NO

TE 1: “+20” zooms in 20x further than 

“+1”  

NOTE 2: If the “Enable Auto Focus after 
zoom” option is checked, the focus will 
automatically be adjusted when zoom is 
changed.  

ii. 

Set up a focus area (if necessary) by 
drawing a rectangle with the mouse 
(by left-clicking and dragging the 
mouse to a desired zoom size)
