Resolution/Compression
Currently there are 2 options for the video capture format. Both options
encode the video using MPEG4. The options are 1280 x 720 (720P) or
320 x 240.
•
Frame Rate
There are 3 Frame rate options of 30, 15 and 7.5 FPS (Frames Per Second).
Lower Frame rates can reduce the file sizes.
The video resolution and frame rate are the two factors that determine the
file size for video files. Table 7-3 shows the approximate files size for
every second of recorded video. As per the table the largest file sizes are
produced by the 720P 30FPS video which is 500 Kbytes per second of
video. The smallest video files are produced by the 320x240 7.5 FPS video
which is 9 Kbytes per second of video.
