Parameter Description

Configure the control method of the bit rate when transmitting

video data.
● CBR (constant bit rate): The bit rate changes a little and keeps
close to the defined bit rate value. We recommend selecting
CBR when there might be only small changes in the
monitoring environment.
● VBR (variable bit rate): The bit rate changes with monitoring
Bit Rate Type scenes. We recommend selecting VBR when there might be
big changes in the monitoring environment.
● ABR (Average Bit Rate): The bit rate takes into account
bandwidth savings and image quality improvement.

The Bit Rate Type can be set as ABR only when Coding Strategy
is set as AI Coding.

This function is available if you select ABR in the Bit Rate Type
list.
Max Bit Rate You can configure Max Bit Rate according to Reference Bit
Rate. The bit rate then changes as monitoring scene changes, but
the max bit rate keeps close to the defined value.

In the Average Bit Rate list, select a value or enter a custom

Average Bit Rate value to change the image quality. The bigger the value is, the
better the image will become.

Step 3 Click Apply to complete the settings.
