■Video frame rate first: Select this option will limit the frame size to 800x600 and clear the settings in the Viewing Windows.

■Cropping mode: The cropping function allows users to crop unnecessary information and simply transmit the image of the target region for viewing or storage. With the trimming, the transmitting data size and thus, the network load is reduced and a higher frame rate is obtained. As a result, bandwidth resources and storage space can be used more efficiently.
