Video Settings
1. Video Resolution 4K 60FPS, 4K 30FPS, 2.7K 30FPS, 1080P 120FPS, 1080P
60FPS, 1080P 30FPS, 720P 240FPS, 720P 120FPS, 720P 60FPS, 720P 30FPS (Default
setting is 4K 30fps) Note: You cannot select 4K 60FPS, 1080P 120FPS, 720P
240FPS or 720P 120FPS when Image Stabilization is ON. When capturing video at
high resolutions or high frame rates in warm ambient temperatures, the camera
may become warm and use more power.
2. Codec H.264 H.265 (Default setting is H.264) A video codec is an
electronic circuit or software that compresses or decompresses
08
EN
digital video. It converts uncompressed video to a compressed format or vice
versa. According to multiple studies, HEVC, High Efficiency Video Coding
(H.265) should deliver up to 50% better compression than H.264 in video on
demand (VOD) applications, which means better quality at half the bit rate. In
live encoding, which obviously has to be performed in real time, the initial
expectations are a 35% bandwidth reduction at similar. quality levels.
Alternatively, HEVC can also enable larger resolution movies, whether 2K or
4K. In addition, encoding existing SD and HD content with HEVC rather than
H.264 will add to cost savings and/or the ability to stream higher quality
video to lower bit rate connections.
Note: You cannot set Codec when camera is at 4K 60FPS video resolution.

the Shutter button to stop recording and save, the camera records a new
5-minute interval by recording over your previous 5 minutes of footage. When

shows you the effect on your image. If you change modes, the camera returns to
using the entire scene to determine the correct level of exposure.
5. ISO Auto / 50 / 100 / 200 / 400 / 800 / 1600 (Default setting is Auto) ISO
determines the camera’ s sensitivity to light, and creates a trade-off between
brightness and resulting image noise. Image noise refers to the degree of
graininess in the image. In low light, higher ISO values result in brighter
images, but with greater image noise. Lower values result in lower image
noise, but darker images. When you change this setting, the display
immediately shows you the effect on your image.
