There are several parameters for you to adjust the video performance: ■ Frame size You can set up different video resolutions for different viewing devices.
PAGE 73
VIVOTEK ■ Intra frame period Determine how often to plant an I frame. The shorter the duration, the more likely you will get better video quality, but at the cost of higher network bandwidth consumption. Select the intra frame period from the following durations: 1/4 second, 1/2 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, and 4 seconds. ■ Video quality • Constant bit rate: A complex scene generally produces a larger file size, meaning that higher bandwidth will be needed for data transmission.
PAGE 74
VIVOTEK If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera continuously sends JPEG images to the client, producing a moving effect similar to a filmstrip. Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees the same image quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage. Because the media contents are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the client.
