Advanced Settings: Video
Video format:
Select MPEG4 or H.264. Both
options offer the same level of quality and
compression.
Video size:
You can select how large the image
sent from the camera is. Setting a high resolution
requires a higher data rate to properly stream
images.
Max frame rate:
The frame rate is a measurement
of how many individual images are sent to the
camera each second. Anything above 15 frames
per second (fps) looks like smooth video, with
25 - 30 being typical for TV broadcasts. The max
frame rate setting will limit the number of frames
sent to whatever you set it to.
Bandwidth:
How much data the camera will send.
More data will lead to a potentially higher quality
image, allowing for higher resolutions, quality
settings and frame rate.
Video quality:
How much information will be sent
per-pixel. High quality settings look great, but
the bandwidth required to send the image will be
much higher. This is also going to depend on the
speed of your Internet connection. Adjusting the
video quality may produce a smoother looking
image.
Power frequency:
Set this to the frequency of AC
power in your area. Some devices (such as TV
screens and fluorescent lights) will flicker if this
is not set correctly. For the USA and Canada, set
this to 60Hz. For Australia and the UK, set this to
50Hz.
Video inversion:
You can choose to flip the image
horizontally, vertically or both.
Constant/Variable video stream rate:
the data rate will adapt to the amount of
information in the video.
With time stamp:
When selected, the time stamp
will be broadcast over the camera's image.
Enable AU (Access Unit) header:
option on and off. An AU header is an advanced
networking option - if you don't know what it
means, we suggest disabling this.
Accelerate the video stream:
streamlining to the way the video signal is sent.
This will increase the performance at the cost of
stability. If the stream becomes unstable, disable
this option.
