| Video Quality Control | Choose an option for the video quality of the primary video stream from the | |
| 
 | 
 | IP camera: | 
| 
 | 
 | • Constant Bit  | 
| 
 | 
 | to the constant bit rate that you choose. The default value is 4 Mbps. A | 
| 
 | 
 | higher bit rate provides better video quality but consumes more | 
| 
 | 
 | bandwidth. | 
| 
 | 
 | • Fixed  | 
| 
 | 
 | ranges from Very High to Very Low. The bit rate may vary to maintain | 
| 
 | 
 | this quality. The default fixed quality is Normal. A higher fixed quality | 
| 
 | 
 | provides better video quality but consumes more bandwidth. | 
| 
 | 
 | You can use these options to help manage bandwidth use in your network. | 
| 
 | 
 | For example, if the IP camera is focused on an area with little movement, | 
| 
 | 
 | such as an emergency exit, you can configure it with a low fixed quality. |

| 
 | 
 | stream from the IP camera. | 
| 
 | 
 | The default values are 30 for NTSC and 25 for PAL. | 
| 
 | 
 | A higher maximum frame rate provides better video quality but consumes | 
| 
 | 
 | more bandwidth |
