The frame rate will decrease if you select a higher resolution�
■ Intra frame period
Determine how often to plant an I frame� The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get 
better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption� Select the intra 
frame period from the following durations: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 
seconds, and 4 seconds�

Video quality
Constant bit rate:
•  Constant bit rate: A complex scene generally produces a larger le size, meaning that 
higher bandwidth will be needed for data transmission. The bandwidth utilization is 
congurable to match a selected level, resulting in mutable video quality performance. 
The bit rates are selectable at the following rates: 20Kbps, 30Kbps, 40Kbps, 50Kbps, 
64Kbps, 128Kbps, 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 768Kbps, 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 3Mbps, 4Mbps, 
6Mbps, and 8Mbps� You can also select Customize and manually enter a value�
The camera  automatically adjusts  the  size  of  video streaming  packets to  keep  it 
under the specied limitation. 
•  Fixed  quality: On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are 
transmitted with the same quality; bandwidth utilization is therefore  unpredictable. 
When so congured, the frame-rate-per-second performance can be compromised 
in the event of insufficient bandwidth or network clogs� The video quality can be 
adjusted to the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed, and Excellent. 
You can also select Customize and drag the slide bar to change the quality setting�
