Video Window

The Video window provides options for configuring the video from the IP camera. You can configure
settings for the primary and an optional secondary video stream.
Configuring a secondary stream is useful for providing a video stream that is at a lower resolution than
the primary stream to third-party devices or software. Some devices and software require this lower
resolution. For related information, see the
section on page

bandwidth.

ranges from Very High to Very Low. The bit rate may vary to maintain
this quality. The default fixed quality is Normal. A higher fixed quality
