Video
Stream Type: Specifies the streaming method used.
Options include: Main Stream (Normal), Substream, and Third stream.
Video Type: Specifies the stream type you wish to record.
Select Video Stream to record video stream only. Select Video&Audio to
record both video and audio streams.
Note: Video&Audio is only available for those camera models that support
audio.
Resolution: Specifies the recording resolution. A higher image resolution
provides a higher image quality but also requires a higher bit rate. The
resolution options listed depend on the type of camera and on whether main
or sub stream is being used.
Note: Resolutions can vary depending on the camera model.
Bitrate Type: Specifies whether variab le or fixed bit rate is used. Variable
produces higher quality results suitable for video downloads and streaming.
Default is Constant.
Video Quality: Specifies the quality level of the image. It can be set when
variable bit rate is selected. Options include: Lowest, Lower, Medium, Higher,
and Highest.

Frame Rate: Specifies the frame rate for the selected resolution.
The frame rate is the number of video frames that are shown or sent per
second.
Note: The maximum frame rate depends on the camera model and selected
resolution. Please select the camera specifications in its datasheet.
Max bit rate: Specifies the maximum allowed bit rate. A high image
resolution requires that a high bit rate must also be selected.
Video Encoding: Specifies the video encoder used.
Profile: Different profile indicates different tools and technologies used in
compression. Options include: High Profile, Main Profile, and Basic Profile.
I-Frame Interval: A video compression method. It is strongly recommended
not to change the default value 50.
SVC: The scalable video coding feature standardizes the encoding of a high-
quality video bit stream that contains one or more subset bit streams. Select
On, Off, or Auto.
Smoothing: Adjust the smoothness of the stream.
