Resolution   
Select according to the requirements of video definition. The higher the resolution, the higher 
the network bandwidth required. 
Bit Rate Type   
You  can select  Constant Bit  Rate  or  Variable Bit  Rate.  The  default  is  constant  bit  rate.  If 
constant bit rate is selected, you need to select a fixed rate value; if variable bit rate is selected, 
you need to select a limit value of the rate. 
Image Quality   
You can select different levels of image quality according to your requirements. The higher the 
quality, the higher the network bandwidth required. When the bit rate is constant bit rate, the 
image quality can not be selected by default. 
Frame Rate   
Display the number of frames per second of the video. According to the bandwidth settings, 
the higher the frame rate, the higher network bandwidth required, and the higher the storage 
space required. 
I Frame Interval   
The number of frames between the two key frames. The larger the I frame interval is, the 
smaller the code stream fluctuation is, but the image quality is relatively poor. On the contrary, 
the larger the code stream fluctuation is, the higher the image quality is. It is recommended to 
use the default value. 
Video Encoding   
The default video encoding type is H.264. 
SVC Encoding   
It is an expandable video encoding technology. The SVC function can be used to extract frames 
for video recording to reduce storage space. The video files after frame extraction still support 
normal  decoding. When  the SVC  function is  enabled, the storage device and the  decoding 
device should all support this function. When the SVC function is selected as automatic, the 
device will adapt to the current network environment and decide whether to send frames to 
ensure that the image can be previewed normally. 
Video&Audio Encoding   
The video and audio encoding type supported by the current device. When the stream type is 
the main stream, the types are G.711ulaw, AAC, PCM; The sub-tream is consistent with the 
main stream.
