2. Select the Stream Type of the camera to main stream (normal), sub-stream or third stream.
The main stream is usually for recording and live viewing with good bandwidth, and the
sub-stream can be used for live viewing when the bandwidth is limited. Refer to the Section
4.1 Configuring Local Parameters for switching the main stream and sub-stream for live
viewing.
3. You can customize the following parameters for the selected stream.
The parameters vary depending on different camera models.
Video Type:
Select the stream type to video stream, or video & audio composite stream. The audio signal
will be recorded only when the Video Type is Video & Audio.
Resolution:
Select the resolution of the video output.
Bitrate Type:
Select the bitrate type to constant or variable.
Video Quality:
When bitrate type is selected as Variable, 6 levels of video quality are selectable.
Frame Rate:
The frame rate is to describe the frequency at which the video stream is updated and it is
measured by frames per second (fps). A higher frame rate is advantageous when there is
movement in the video stream, as it maintains image quality throughout.
Max. Bitrate:
Set the Max. bitrate. The higher value corresponds to the higher video quality, but the higher
bandwidth is required.
Video Encoding:
Select Video Encoding from the dropdown list for different stream type.
