On the other hand, if Fixed quality is selected, all frames are transmitted with the same quality; bandwidth utilization is therefore unpredictable. The video quality can be adjusted to the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed, and Excellent. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value.

The H.264 mode has similar settings with that of the MPEG-4 mode as previously mentioned, yet it offers a higher compression rate for saving storage and network bandwidth. On the other hand, it requires higher computing resources to decorde the video on the receiver’s side.

If JPEG mode is selected, the Network Camera continuously sends JPEG images to the client, producing a moving effect similar to a filmstrip. Every single JPEG image transmitted guarantees the same image quality, which in turn comes at the expense of variable bandwidth usage. Because the media contents are a combination of JPEG images, no audio data is transmitted to the client.

There are three parameters provided in MJPEG mode to control the video performance:

■ Frame size

Select the video size. Note that a larger frame size takes up more bandwidth. The frame sizes are selectable in the following resolutions:

WXGA

1280 x 800

hd720

1280 x 720

Custom

640 x 400

Custom

320 x 200

■ Maximum frame rate

This limits the maximum refresh frame rate per second. Set the frame rate higher for smoother video quality. The frame rates are selectable at 1fps, 2fps, 3fps, 5fps, 8fps, 10fps, 15fps, 20fps, 25fps, and 30fps. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value.

■ Video quality

The video quality can be adjusted to the following settings: Medium, Standard, Good, Detailed, and Excellent. You can also select Customize and manually enter a value.

NOTE:

The Custom value you enter for Video quality here is related the Compression rate of each still JPEG image. A lower value produces higher JPEG image quality.
