GOV Settings
The GOV structure describes the composition of the video stream and sett
ing the GOV-length to a higher value saves
considerably on bandwidth but may have an adverse effect on image quality.
Bit Rate Control
The bit rate can be set as Va
riable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR). VBR adjusts the bit rate according to the image
complexity, using up bandwidth for increased activity in the image, and less for lower activity in the monitored area.
CBR allows you to set a fixed Target bit rate th
at consumes a predictable amount of bandwidth. As the bit rate would usually
need to increase for increased image activity, but in this case cannot, the frame rate and image quality are affected
negatively. To partly compensate for this, it is possible to prioritize either frame rate or image quality. Not setting a priority
means frame rate and image quality are equally affected.
Note:
To determi
ne a reasonable bit rate, go to Setup > Video & Audio > Video Stream > Image. Under Overlay Settings,
check the Include text checkbox and enter the code #b in the field. The current bit rate will display as a text overlay
on the Live View page.
