5. Under General > PTZ > PTZ Settings
• Device Type - Select whether the camera is a PTZ or Fixed. By default, ACUIX
cameras are PTZ enabled. See Advanced PTZ Settings
• PTZ Sensitivity - Select the PTZ Sensitivity for PTZ camera. Available PTZ options
are: Minimum, Low, Normal, High and Maximum.
Note: The PTZ Sensitivity field is not available for fixed cameras.
6. Under Primary Stream > Recording > Video Quality Settings
• Resolution - The Resolution is defaulted to a fixed value based on the camera
model (for example, HD3MDIP model defaults to 1280 x 720 resolution).
• Frame Rate - Select the FPS for a camera. FPS refers to the number of pictures
displayed in exactly one second. FPS is a measure of how much information is used
to store and display motion video. The term applies to digital video. Each frame is a
still image; displaying frames in quick succession creates the illusion of motion.
Note: 30 FPS is the maximum frame rate in NTSC format and 25 FPS is the maximum
frame rate in PAL format supported by MAXPRO NVR.
• Video Codec Type - Select the Codec type for the camera.
• Compression Level - The Compression Level is defaulted to “Medium”. You can
select a new Compression ratio as applicable.
• GOP - The GOP value is proportional to Frame Rate value. If you set the Frame Rate
value as 15 then the GOP value is updated to 15. You can also type a new GOP as
applicable.
Group of Pictures (GOP) are individual frames (number of pictures) that are grouped
together and played back for viewing. A GOP consists of “IFrame” picture type that
represents a fixed image independent of other picture types. Each GOP begins with
this type of picture.
Note: It is recommended to maintain the same GOP value as Frame Rate value.
• Video Format - Select the Video Format (NTSC or PAL). The NTSC and PAL are the
widely used video formats.
• Streaming Mode - The Streaming Mode is defaulted to UDP. You can select TCP
streaming mode as applicable. The Streaming Mode is supported only for AXIS and
ONVIF Cameras.
• Continuous - Select the FPS for Continuous recording.
• Event - Select the FPS for Event based recording.
