2. Select the Stream Type of the camera to main stream (normal) 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 limited.

3. You can customize the following parameters for the selected main stream or

sub-stream:

Video Type:

Select the stream type to video stream, or video & audio composite stream. The

audio signal will be recorded only when the Video Type is Video & Audio.

Resolution:

Select the resolution of the video output.

Bitrate Type:

Select the bitrate type to constant or variable.

Video Quality:

When bitrate type is selected as Variable, 6 levels of video quality are selectable.

Frame Rate:

Set the frame rate to 1/16~25 fps. The frame rate is to describe the frequency at

which the video stream is updated and it is measured by 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 32~16384 Kbps. The higher value corresponds to the

higher video quality, but the higher bandwidth is required.

Video Encoding:

When the Stream Type of the camera is main stream, the Video Encoding

standard can be set to H.264.

When the Stream Type of the camera is sub-stream, the Video Encoding standard

can be set to H.264, MJPEG.

Profile:

Basic profile, Main Profile and High Profile are selectable.
