About MJPEG settings
Sometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the maximum frame size helps to control the
bandwidth and storage used by the Motion JPEG video stream in these situations. Setting the frame size to the Default setting
provides consistently good image quality at the expense of increased bandwidth and storage usage in low light. Limiting the frame
size optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but may result in poor image quality.

About stream profiles

A stream profile is a set of predefined stream settings including resolution, compression, frame rate and overlay settings. Stream
profiles can be used:
• When setting up recording using action rules. See About events on page 38.
• When setting up continuous recording. See About continuous recording on page 44.
• In the Live View page – select the stream profile from the Stream profile drop-down list.
To create a new profile or modify an existing profile, go to Setup > Video & Audio > Stream Profiles.
To select a default stream profile for the Live View page, go to Setup > Live View Config.
