Note These
Resolution | Choose the desired video resolution format for the primary video stream |
| from the IP camera. |
| For the wired IP camera, the default resolution is 720 x 480 for NTSC or |
| 720 x 576 for PAL. For the wireless IP camera, the default resolution is 4CIF. |
|
|
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 for the wired |
| IP camera is 4 Mbps. The default value for the wireless IP camera is |
| 1 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. |
