| 
 | 
 | up to 4CIF and 30 fps for NTSC or 25 fps for PAL. The secondary stream |

 | primary stream and MJPEG for the secondary stream. The primary |

| 
 | 
 | Resolution | Choose the desired video resolution format for the primary video stream | |||
| 
 | 
 | 
 | from the IP camera. | |||
| 
 | 
 | 
 | The default resolution is 720 x 480 for NTSC or 720 x 576 for PAL. | |||
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
 | |||
| 
 | 
 | 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. | |||
