Resolution Priority: The resolution stays the same as the set value in the Video page, and the bitrate will be adjusted automatically. Go to Configuration > Video/Audio > Video page, set the Max. Bitrate before you enable the smooth streaming function. In this mode the framerate will be adjusted automatically to the maximum value.

•

Error Correction: The resolution and bitrate stay the same as the set values in the Video page. When the bandwidth is sufficient, there is packet loss or bit error during transmission, and these situations will lead to video data error or loss. This mode is used to correct data errors during transmission. You can configure the error correction proportion within a range of 0-100. When the proportion is 0, the data error will be corrected by data retransmission. When the proportion is higher than 0, the error data will be corrected via redundant data that is added to the stream and data retransmission. The higher the value, the more redundant data will be generated, the more data error will be corrected, and the larger bandwidth is required. When the proportion is 100, the redundant data will be as large as the original data, and the bandwidth required will be double.

NOTE: Be sure the bandwidth is sufficient in Error Correction mode.

•

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, six levels of video quality are selectable.

•

Frame Rate: Set the frame rate. The frame rate is to describe the frequency at which the video stream is updated and is measured in 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 maximum bitrate from 32 to 16384 Kbps. A higher value corresponds to higher video quality, but more bandwidth is required.

NOTE: The maximum limit of the max. bitrate value varies by camera platform. For certain cameras, the

maximum limit is 8192 Kbps or 12288 Kbps.

•

Video Encoding: The camera supports multiple video encodings types such as H.264, H.265, MJPEG, and MPEG4. Supported encoding type for different stream types may differ. H.265 is a new encoding technology. Compared to H.264, it reduces the transmission bitrate under the same resolution, frame rate, and image quality.

NOTE: Selectable video encoding types may vary by camera model.

•

H.264+ and H.265+: You need to reboot the camera if you want to turn on or turn off the H.264+/H.265+. If you switch from H.264+ to H.265+ directly, and vice versa, a reboot is not required by the system.

- H.264+: If you set the main stream as the stream type, and H.264 as the video encoding, you can see H.264+ available. H.264+ is an improved compression coding technology based on H.264. By enabling H.264+, users can estimate the HDD consumption by its maximum average bitrate. Compared to H.264, H.264+ reduces storage by up to 50 percent with the same maximum bitrate in most scenes.

- H.265+: If you set the main stream as the stream type, and H.265 as the video encoding, you can see H.265+ available. H.265+ is an improved compression coding technology based on H.265. By enabling H.265+, users can estimate the HDD consumption by its maximum average bitrate. Compared to H.265, H.265+ reduces storage by up to 50 percent with the same maximum bitrate in most scenes.

NOTES: » Upgrade your video player to the latest version if live view or playback does not work properly due to

compatibility.

» With H.264+/H.265+ enabled, the parameters such as profile, I frame interval, video quality, and SVC are

greyed out.

» With H.264+/H.265+ enabled, some functions are not supported. For those functions, corresponding interfaces

will be hidden.
