► To configure the encoder properties

1. Start the Web Interface.

2. From the tree, select Configuration >Video.

3. From the Encoder Properties tab, set the values for the following

parameters:

Bit Rate:The rate in kbps at which the device sends data. Use a higher

bit rate to record movements, noise and details. The bit rate can range

from 9 kbps to 6000 kbps.

Frame Rate:The number of frames captured or recorded each seconds.

NTSC:select from: 1, 2, 3, 3.75, 5, 6, 7.5, 10, 15, or 30 fps.

PAL:select from: 1, 2.5, 5, 6.75, 8.33, 12.5, or 25 fps

Quantizer (Minimum and Maximum):The process of safely

discarding information from a video without a significant loss in visual

quality. Using a higher quantizer value decreases video quality and

creates a smaller file size. Using a low quantizer value increases video

quality and creates a larger file size. The available range is between 2

and 31.

Note

To maintain the video frame rate, you should set the maximum quantizer

to 31. If the quality of each frame is more important, you should reduce

the quantizer value; for example, a maximum quantizer of 5 keeps a good

image quality, but skips frames when motion is high.
