This chapter explains how to set the capture quality (5-10-20 Mpx) but the image size also depends on the
compression quality (to set the compression quality see chapter 3.6.4).
Milestone suggests setting a snapshot quality of “10Mpx” and “Standard” compression.
This is a good compromise between file size (disk space) and image quality.
For images used for publications (articles, documents, etc.) Milestone suggests setting a capture quality of
“20Mpx” and “Full” compression.
The table below indicates the image file size in the various configurations:
Compression quality
Standard
(medium)
Full
(high)
Low
(low)
Snapshot quality
20 Mpx 2.3MB 12.7MB 1.8MB
10 Mpx 1.5MB 7.4MB 970kB
5 Mpx 750kB 4MB 520kB
Note that the space required for saving each image is twice that shown in the table above. In fact, the
system automatically saves each image in both JPEG and m5p formats.
