5.2 Record
This section allows for configuration of recording settings.
5.2.1 Stream
The IP cameras have multiple simultaneous streams which are used for different purposes. The main
stream defines the recording video quality which will be saved in the HDD. The sub stream defines the
video quality for remote access viewing, such as the web client. The mobile stream defines the video
quality for remote viewing with the mobile app.
Resolution
: This parameter defines how large the recorded image will be.
FPS
: This parameter defines the frame rate (frames per second) that will be recorded.
Video Encode Type:
Compression codec of the IP camera.
Bitrate Control
: Bitrate determines the actual video quality. Constant bitrate (
CBR
) is more suitable
for scenes with low contrast or where there isn’t much movement. For more complex scenes or
scenes with more movement, variable bitrate (
VBR
) is more suitable. If the bitrate is set too low for the
given resolution, pixilation will start to occur.
