Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the maximum frame size helps to control the
bandwidth and storage used by the Motion JPEG video stream in these situations. Defining the frame size as
Default
provides
consistently good image quality at the expense of increased bandwidth and storage usage during low light. Limiting the frame
size optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but may give poor image quality. To prevent increased bandwidth and storage
usage, the maximum frame size should be set to an optimal value.
Stream Profiles
There are 4 pre-programmed stream profiles available for quick set-up. These settings can be adjusted and new customized
profiles can be created. Each profile has a descriptive name, describing its usage and/or purpose. The profiles can be accessed
from the

video at a lower bit rate.
Motion JPEG -
Delivers a high quality video stream, from which individual images can be extracted and saved.
