Setup
To configure video quality settings:
1. Check Enable under Sub Stream to enable the sub stream or uncheck to disable.
2. For the Main Stream and Sub Stream, configure the following:
• Code Stream Type: For the Main Stream, select Continuous to configure settings
when motion is not detected, Motion to configure settings when motion is detected,
or Alarm to configure settings when an alarm is detected.
• Encode Mode: Select the encoding type: H.264 (Main H.264 profile), H.264H
(High Profile H.264), H.264B (Baseline H.264 profile), MJPEG.
NOTE
A much higher bitrate and faster connection is required to maintain image quality using MJPEG. It
is recommended to use H.264 unless you have special requirements.
• Resolution: Select the desired resolution for the video stream. There is a different
recommended bit rate depending on the resolution selected.
• Frame Rate (FPS): Select the desired frame rate for the video stream between 1
and 30 FPS.
• Bit Rate Type: Select CBR (Constant Bit Rate) or VBR (Variable Bit Rate). If you
select VBR, you can select the Video Quality between 1 (lowest) and 6 (best).
• Reference Bit Rate: Recommended bit rate range based on the resolution and
frame rate settings you have selected.
• Bit Rate: Select the desired bit rate for each video stream or select Customized
and enter the bit rate in Kbps.
• I Frame: Select the interval for I frames (30~150 for NTSC, 25~150 for PAL).
3. Under Watermark Settings, check to enable watermark to protect against video
tampering.
4. Under Watermark Character, enter the desired watermark text.
5. Click Save to save changes.
