STREAMING SETTINGS
VIDEO RESOLUTION
The camera allows you to configure each of the streams independently.
Encoding – enable Stream 2~Stream 4 encoding.
Encode Type – select the preferred encode type (H.265, H.264, MJPEG).
Resolution – set the resolution of stream.
Rate Control – select the H.265/H.264 bitrate mode: CBR (Constant Bit Rate), VBR (Variable Bit Rate), and
LBR (Low Bit Rate).
•CBR – the outgoing video bitrate will be fixed and consistent to maintain bandwidth.
•VBR – video bitrate varies according to the activity of the monitoring environment to
achieve better image quality.
•LBR – keeps bitrate low to ensure superior image quality. To use LBR, set up the
compression level and dynamic GOV for each stream first.
Compression – based on the current application area and streaming bitrate, select the most suitable
compression level, high/mid/low.
•High – bitrate will be vastly reduced but image quality may be degraded.
•Low – bitrate will stay low while image quality remains high.
Dynamic GOV/Max GOV –According to the amount of motion in the area, the GOV length of the video will
be adjusted dynamically to reduce bitrate, especially for scenes with minor changes. If there is small or
zero activity in the scene, set Max GOV larger and the GOV length will be longer, resulting in lower bitrate
and bandwidth. If there are constant dynamic changes in the scene, it is suggested to adjust GOV Length
and disable Dynamic GOV.
Profile – Set H.265/H2.64 to High Profile or Main Profile according to compression needs. With the same
bit rate, the higher the compression ratio, the better the image quality is.
Framerate -- Setting the camera to transmit fewer frames can save bandwidth (1 ~ 30)
Note Higher frame rate will increase video smoothness, as well as file size and bandwidth usage.
Note Lower frame rate will decrease video smoothness, as well as file size and bandwidth usage.
Bitrate – The default setting of the H.265/H.264 bitrate for Stream 1 / Stream 2 is 4096kbit/s; for Stream
3 / Stream 4 is 2048kbit/s. The setting range is from 512 to 10240, and the total bit rate should not
exceed 26624 kbps.
GOV Length – set the GOV length to determine the frame structure (I-frames and P-frames) in a video
stream to save bandwidth. Less bandwidth is needed if the GOV length is set to a high value. However,
the shorter the GOV length, the better the video quality is.
