Encoder Settings Introduction to encoder settings The encoder settings determine the characteristics of the four streams generated by the camera. The types of streams that can be generated are: – HD.
Encoder Profile Profiles are rather complex and include a number of parameters that interact with one another, so it is generally best to use the pre-defined profiles. Only change a profile if completely familiar with all the configuration options. Pre-defined profiles Eight definable profiles are available.
Target bit rate To optimize use of the bandwidth in the network, limit the data rate for the device. The target data rate should be set according to the desired picture quality for typical scenes with no excessive motion.
GOP structure Select the structure you require for the Group-of-Pictures (GOP). Depending on whether you place greater priority on having the lowest possible delay (IP frames only) or using as little bandwidth possible, you choose IP, IBP or IBBP. (GOP is not available on some megapixel cameras.
2. Set the value for Min. P-frame QP to the highest value at which the image quality still meets your needs. 3. Set the value for I/P-frame delta QP to the lowest possible value.
Encoder Streams H.264 settings Select H.264 Settings 1. Select a codec algorithm Property for stream 1 from the drop-down box. 2. Select the Non-recording profile for stream 1 from the eight profiles that have been defined. – This profile is not used for recording.
Encoder Regions Encoder regions are used to increase or decrease the encoding quality for selectable areas of the image. They can be used to give better control of the bitrate by enhancing the encoding quality of important regions (objects) and decreasing the encoding quality of less important regions (background).
Recording Introduction to recording Images can be recorded to an appropriately configured iSCSI system or, for devices with an SD slot, locally to an SD card. SD cards are the ideal solution for shorter storage times and temporary recordings. They can be used for local alarm recording or to improve the overall reliability of video recording.
