circumstances. When there are both very bright and very dark areas simultaneously in the
field of view, WDR balances the brightness level of the whole image and provide clear images
with details.
Sharpness: Set the resolution level of the image plane and the sharpness level of the image
edge.
Denoise: Decrease the noise and make the image more thorough. Increasing the value will
make the noise reduction effect better but it will reduce the image resolution.

resources are, the compression bitrate keeps constant. This will not only facilitate the image
quality better in a constant bitrate but also help to calculate the capacity of the recording. VBR
means that the compression bitrate can be adjustable according to the change of the video
resources. This will help to optimize the network bandwidth.
Video Quality: When VBR is selected, you need to choose image quality. The higher the image
quality you choose, the more bitrate will be required.
Bitrate: Please choose it according to the actual network situation.
I Frame interval: It is recommended to use the default value. If the value is over high, the
read speed of the group of pictures will be slow resulting in the quality loss of the video.

used in interactive application with low complexity and delay. Main profile is mainly used for
higher coding requirement.
Stream of snapping photos: Please select it according to the actual situation.
