Setting name
Description
Name
Type a name (such as
live-stream1
) that can be referenced
by other parts of the configuration. Do not use spaces or
special characters. The maximum length is 35 characters.
Resolution
Select the amount of detail (the number of pixels) in the image.
from the dropdown menu.
Lower resolutions features less detail but are faster to
transmit. Higher resolutions produce a clearer image but
require more bandwidth. A higher resolution is preferable if the
camera is recording a large space, such as a parking lot,
where small details like faces and license plates could be
important.
Note:
Resolution greatly impacts performance, bandwidth,
and the rate at which disk space is consumed. See
.
Frames per second
Type the number of frames per second (FPS).
Conventional video is 24 frames per second. More frames per
second may be useful if you need to record very fast motion,
but increasing FPS will also increase disk usage and CPU
usage.
Bit rate mode
Select the bit rate.
•
Variable
— Automatically adjust the stream to the
minimum bit rate required by the current video frames
while maintaining video quality.
•
Fixed
— Manually specify a constant bit rate in
Specifying a bit rate that is too low may result in poor
quality. Specifying a bit rate that is too high may needlessly
consume extra bandwidth.
Bit rate
Type the bit rate that will be used.

.
Quality
Select the degree of compression.
Greater compression reduces required network bandwidth but
causes greater CPU usage.
