Chapter 4 Video and Audio
This part introduces the configuration of video and audio related parameters.
Video Settings
This section introduces video parameter settings such as stream type, video encoding, and resolution.
1. Go to setting page: Configuration → Video/Audio → Video.
Stream Type
For devices that support more than one stream, you can specify parameters for each stream type.
• Main Stream: This stream stands for the best stream performance the device supports. It usually offers
the best resolution and frame rate the device can do. But high resolution and frame rate usually
means larger storage space and higher bandwidth requirements in transmission.
• Sub Stream: This stream usually offers comparatively low resolution options, which consumes less
bandwidth and storage space.
• Other Streams: Steams other than the main stream and sub stream may also be offered for customized
usage.
• Set Custom Video: You can set up additional video streams if required. For custom video streams, you
can preview them, but cannot record or play them back.
Steps
The function is supported only by certain camera models.
After restoring the device (not restore to default settings), quantity of custom video
streams and their names are kept, but the related parameters are restored.
1. Click to add a stream.
2. Change the stream name as needed.
Up to 32 letters and symbols (except &, <, >, ', or ") are allowed for the stream name.
3. Customize the stream parameters (resolution, frame rate, max. bitrate, video encoding).
4. Optional: Add stream description as needed.
5. Optional: If a custom stream is not needed, click to delete it.
6. Click Save.
Video Type
