Sensitivity: This parameter determines the sensitivity of embedded motion detector algorithm. The higher the value, the more sensible to the motion object change.
  • Page 96: Video Quality Setting

    Object Size: This parameter determines the pixel change percentage of motion interest area. If more pixels(vs configured value) are justified and declared as changed by embedded motion detector algorithm, motion is reported by the device. Frame Interval: The frame interval check the number of required video frames in a row to confirm the motion condition.
  • Page 97 Answer: The following configurable parameters have dominant effects on user video quality feeling: Video Resolution Video Mode Bit Rate Frame Rate Quality Those parameters are closely linked and there is a tradeoff between setting of each parameters. For example, there is no guaranteed setting to satisfy user (Bit Rate, Frame Rate, Quality) setting under desired video resolution.
  • Page 98 Windows client. 2) Video Mode Leadtek surveillance camera supports 2 video mode for rate control, i.e. Variable Bit Rate (VBR) and Constant Bit Rate(CBR). The VBR setting honors the frame rate and quality setting and thus pump out as much as bitstream to satisfy those 2 parameter setting(frame rate , quality).
