Video Quality Control	Choose an option for video quality for the secondary video stream from the
	IP camera:
	• Constant Bit Rate—Specifies that the video stream is output at or close
	to the constant bit rate that you choose. The default value is 1.2 Mbps.
	A higher bit rate provides better video quality but consumes more
	bandwidth.
	• Fixed Quality—Specifies that video is output at a fixed quality, which
	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.
