interface:
Figure 7.7 Video Settings
2. Select the camera from the drop-down list to configure.
3. Select the Encoding Parameter of the camera to Main Stream (Normal), Main Stream (Event) or
Sub Stream.
The main stream is usually for recording and live viewing with good bandwidth, and the sub stream
can be used for live viewing when the bandwidth is low. Refer to the Chapter 6.1 Local
Configuration on changing the main stream to sub stream for live viewing.
4. You can customize the following parameters for the selected Main Stream or Sub Stream:
Stream Type: Select the stream type to video stream, or video & audio composite stream. The
audio signal will be recorded only when the Stream Type is Video & Audio.
Resolution: Select the resolution of the video input.
BitRate Type: Select the bitrate type to constant or variable.
Image Quality: When bitrate type is selected to Constant, 6 levels of image quality can be
configured.
Frame Rate: Set the frame rate to 1~25 fps.
The frame rate used to describe the frequency at which a video stream is updated is measured in
frames per second (fps). A higher frame rate is advantageous when there is movement in the video
stream, as it maintains image quality throughout.
Max. BitRate: Set the Max. bitrate to 32~3072 Kbps.
Video Encoding: Select the video encoding standard to H.264.
5. If you want to copy the display settings of the current camera to other cameras, spread the Copy to
Camera panel and select the camera(s) to copy, or click Select All to select all cameras.
