     IP Cameras
     

   • Video Quality adjusts picture clarity (high setting = four green squares is default). Consider highest if hard drive space allows. Medium setting is a balance between good picture and saving HDD space.

   • Frame Rate sets recording frame rate (8 fps on continuous and 15 on motion by default). Higher frame rates require more storage, but allows better slow motion playback.

   • Max Bitrate Mode chooses between pre-set bitrate values and customized values (General setting is default).

   • Max Bitrate (kbps) is the chosen bitrate for streaming the video. Max Bitrate should be adjusted to meet or exceed the rate recommended by the system for the chosen parameters.

   • Max Bitrate Recommended is impacted by resolution, quality, and framerate.

   • Record Audio turns on audio recording. Requires connection of external microphone or camera with built in mic.

   • Video Stream determines which stream is recorded. Leave at default (Mainstream).
