Frame Rate: Frame rate refers to how many frames are captured each second. A higher frame
rate is advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains image
quality throughout.
Resolution: Image resolution is a measure of how much detail a digital image can hold: the
greater the resolution, the greater the level of detail. Resolution can be specified as the
number of pixel-columns (width) by the number of pixel-rows (height), e.g.,1024×768.
Bitrate: The bit rate (in kbit/s or Mbit/s) is often referred to as speed, but actually defines the
number of bits/time unit and not distance/time unit.
Enable H.264+: The H.264+ mode helps to ensure the high video quality with a lowered bitrate.
It can effectively reduce the need of bandwidth and HDD storage space.
