If you select [Not specified], the camera’s aspect ratio
setting is used for recording.
(2) [Resolution]
Specify the resolution when [Aspect Ratio] is set to
[4:3] or [16:9 (4:3)].
If you select [Not Specified] for the [Resolution], the
camera’s resolution setting is used for recording.
(3) [Video Format]
Specify the video format ([JPEG], [MPEG-4] or
[H.264]).
The available formats depend on the camera model.
(4) [Maximum Frame Rate]
Specify the maximum frame rate (number of frames
recorded in one second) in the range from 0.1 to 30
frames per second (fps).
(5) [Record audio if available]

own memory before sending it to the Storage Server.
This can help reduce the effects of non-uniform
network traffic (jitter).
