Click the related option tab to enter the setting interface.

4.4.1 Video Settings

Users can set the video parameters in the format of H.264 major or minor
stream and MJPEG stream, such as resolution, frame rate and IP rate.

Resolution:
For H.264 major stream, the resolution of IP camera comes up to 1280  960,
with 1280720,720576, 720480,640480 optional; For H.264 minor stream,
the resolution comes to 640480, 352288, 320240 ,176144 and closed.
For MJPEG stream, the resolution of comes to 1280960, 1280720 and closed

28
 User manual of IPCamera V1.0.0

Frame Rate: the number of compressed frames produced by camera per

second.
The bigger the frame is, the better the image continuity will be, but the CPU
performance is lowered.
The smaller the frame is, the worse the image continuity will be, but the CPU
could handle more events.
The maximum frame rate for H.264 is 30fps. The maximum frame rate for
MJPEG is 3fps.

I/P Rate: I/P rate means the ratio of I frame to P frame in compressed video images.
The bigger the value is, the less the data quantity is and the less network
resource it occupies.
Max. I/P rate can be set to 60.

Bitrate type: There are 2 modes of bit rate: variable rate (vbr) and constant rate
(cbr).
The variable rate can adjust the bandwidth that it occupies automatically
according to the complexity of image, because the complexity of real video
sequence keeps changing, details, speed, etc, and the variable rate setting mode
can be used to choose how much bandwidth should be used. If the video gets
more details and moving fast, then it takes up more bandwidth to transmit, and
reversely it occupies less bandwidth. When the setting goes with constant bit
rate, then the image is transmitted under a constant bandwidth.

Bit Rate: You have to set the upper limit of bit rate if “vbr” is selected; the
stream size will be fixed if “cbr” is selected and the stream size is defined in the
“Bit Rate”. For major stream, the bit rate upper limit can be
1000kbps~10000kbps; for minor stream, the bit rate upper limit can be 32Kbps~
2000Kbps.

29
 User manual of IPCamera V1.0.0

Image Quality: it can be set under MJPEG stream. Options: Highest, High, Average,
Low and Lowest. The higher the image quality is, the more bandwidth it will occupy.
