14
TBK Vision Plus Network Camera User Manual
Frame rate: The higher the frame rate is, the more fluency the video is. However, more
storage room will be taken up.
Bitrate type: Including CBR and VBR. CBR means that no matter how changeable the video
resources are, the compression bitrate keeps constant. This will not only facilitate the image
quality better in a constant bitrate but also help to calculate the capacity of the recording.
VBR means that the compression bitrate can be adjustable according to the change of the
video resources. This will help to optimize the network bandwidth.
Video Quality: When VBR is selected, you need to choose image quality. The higher the
image quality you choose, the more bitrate will be required.
Bitrate: Please choose it according to the actual network situation.
I Frame interval: It is recommended to use the default value. If the value is over high, the
read speed of the group of pictures will be slow resulting in the quality loss of the video.
Video encoding: H264 and H265 are optional. Higher quality of image can be transferred
under limited network bandwidth by using H265 video encoding, however, higher quality of
the hardware is required.
Profile: Baseline, main/high profile are optional. Baseline profile is mainly usedin interactive
application withlow complexity and delay. Main/high profile is mainly used for higher coding
requirement.
Alarm picture size: Please select it according to the actual situation.
Video encode slice split: If enabled, you may get more fluency image even though using the
low-performance PC.
