when you start an image stream because the decoder in the receiving device must wait longer for
the initial I-frames.
Live Buffer Size
- Sets the size (in kilobytes) of the live buffer for the stream controlled by the
currently selected tab. The live buffer is a ring buffer that stores the last N captured images for the
stream (N depends on the size of the images being encoded and the size of the buffer).
Alarm Buffer Size
- Sets the size (in kilobytes) of the alarm buffer for the stream controlled by the
currently selected tab. Normally, the alarm buffer is simply a ring buffer that stores the last N
captured images for the stream (N depends on the size of the images being encoded and the size
of the buffer). But when an alarm condition is declared, the alarm buffer will only continue to buffer
post alarm images until the portion of the buffer that is allocated for post alarm image storage is full
(see the next parameter). At that point, buffering will stop, and the pre and post alarm images held
in the buffer will be retained until a new
Alarm Buffer Arm command is issued (see Section 3.6.2
on page 37 ).
Post Alarm Buffer Size
- Sets the portion of the alarm buffer (in kilobytes) that will be used for
"post alarm" image storage. For example, if the Alarm Buffer Size parameter is set to 2048 kilobytes
and the
Post Alarm Buffer Size
parameter is set to 1228 kilobytes, then 1228 kilobytes (i.e., 60%)
of the alarm buffer will be allocated for holding post alarm images.
