Configuring Streaming Settings
You can configure video streaming properties on the Setup Compression Setup Video
page.
The page is divided into two sections: Main Stream and Sub Stream. In the Sub Stream
section, two sub streams are configurable: Sub Stream 1 and Sub Stream 2. To enable a sub
stream, select one of the sub streams, and then select the Enable check box.
For each record type (General, Motion, Alarm), you can configure the encoding format,
resolution, frame rate, bit rate, and I-frame interval settings. You can also apply a custom
watermark to the main stream.
Format
In the Format box, select H.264B, H.264, H.264H, MJPEG, or H.265.
H.264 Main Profile. Uses less bandwidth than Baseline Profile at the same quality.
H.264B
H.264H
MJPEG
H.265 High Efficiency Video Coding. Supports 4K resolution. Twice as efficient as H.264.
Baseline Profile. Uses up to 50% less bandwidth than MPEG4 and up to 80% less
than MJPEG. Higher compression and lower quality than H.264.
High Profile. Uses less bandwidth than Main Profile at the same quality. Lower
compression and higher quality than H.264.
Uses the most bandwidth but produces excellent image quality with access to every
image in the stream.
Smart Codec
Set Smart Codec to ON or OFF.
By taking reference frames and applying them to refreshed frames, Smart Codec eliminates
the need to transmit data for an unchanged image or parts of the image where there is no

movement. Used together with H.264, Smart Codec can lead to storage savings of up to 60
percent and bandwidth savings of up to 40 percent over H.264 alone.

environments). Required if MJPEG compression is used.
Variable bit rate. The bit rate changes according to the complexity of the scene.
Select a Quality level between 1 (lowest quality) and 6 (highest quality).
I-Frame Interval
In the I-Frame Interval box, enter a value between 1 and 150. The default I-frame interval is two
times the frame rate. For example, if the frame rate is 30 fps, the I-frame interval will be 60.
