■ Frame size
Select the video size� Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidthThe frame sizes are
selectable in the following resolutions:
NTSC PAL
704 x 480 704 x 576
CIF 352 x 240 352 x 288
QCIF 176 x 120 176 x 144
■ Maximum frame rate
This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second� Set the frame rate higher for smoother video
quality
If the power line frequency is set to 50Hz, the frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps,
8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, and 25fps� If the power line frequency is set to 60Hz, the frame rates are
selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps, and 30fps� You can also select
Customize and manually enter a value�
■ 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
A complex scene generally produces a larger le size, meaning that higher bandwidth will be needed
for data transmission� Therefore, if Constant bit rate is selected, the bandwidth utilization is xed at
a selected level, resulting in mutable video quality performance� The bit rates are selectable at the
following rates: 20Kbps, 30Kbps, 40Kbps, 50Kbps, 64Kbps, 128Kbps, 256Kbps, 512Kbps, 768Kbps,
1Mbps, 2Mbps, 3Mbps, and 4Mbps� You can also select Customize and manually enter a value�
On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are transmitted with the same quality;
bandwidth utilization is therefore unpredictableThe video quality can be adjusted to the following
settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed, and Excellent� You can also select Customize and
manually enter a value�
If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera continuously sends JPEG images to the client, producing
a moving effect similar to a lmstrip. 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.
There are three parameters provided in MJPEG mode to control the video performance:
