You can have up to 3 active profiles to configure and use.
Set whether you want your camera to use a 4:3 or 16:19 aspect ratio for its
video. When changing this setting, you will need to redo setup for motion
detection, privacy masks, and preset points.
Set the video codec to be used to
H.264
or
MJPEG
.
Select what frame size to use. Frame size determines the total capture
resolution. Larger frame sizes provide more detail, but will require more
bandwidth.
Select how large the view window should be. Setting it to be the same as your
Frame Size will allow you to see the complete view of the camera. Setting a
smaller view window will show a portion of the full camera view, and allows
you to use ePTZ to move the camera view around and use preset points.
You can set the maximum frame rate to be 1 fps to 30 fps. A higher frame rate
provides smoother motion for videos and requires more bandwidth. Lower
frame rates will result in stuttering motion and require less bandwidth.
This adjusts how the camera manages the quality and bandwidth usage of
the camera.
VBR
- Variable Bit Rate will automatically change the bit rate based
on the camera video's complexity. If the
Mode
is set to
MJPEG
, this
will be the only choice available.
CBR
- Constant Bit Rate will use a fixed bit rate that you set.
CVBR
- Constrained Variable Bit Rate works like VBR, but lets you set a
maximum bit rate.
You may configure up to 3 video profiles with different settings for your camera. This allows you to set different settings for recording video and for
viewing your video remotely, for example. After making any changes, click the
Save
button to save your changes.
