The ZAVIO network camera allows the creation of video streaming profiles. For each profile
you can define the video resolution, the viewing area and the video codec that is to be used.
Click “Add” to create a new profile, “Remove” to delete a profile or “Edit” to modify an existing
profile.
Video Setting:
Encoding- Your ZAVIO network camera can
encode video in three different formats.
H.264 is the most advanced and efficient
codec delivering excellent image quality and
a small video stream size at the same time.
Normally, this is your preferred choice.
However, you can also select MPEG4 or
MJPEG, e.g., for compatibility reasons.
Resolution- Here you define the video resolution for the profile. Which choices you have
depend on your camera model. Some HD models offer image resolutions of up to 1920
x 1080 pixels whereas standard definition cameras are limited to 640 x 480 pixels.
Maximum frame rate- Type in the number of frames the camera should generate per
second of video. The higher the value, the smoother the video, but the more bandwidth
is going to be required. Valid entries are 1 to 30.
Quality- You can control the image quality of the video by selecting “Fixed Quality”(or
refers to VBR) and defining the image quality by selecting one of the following values
“Medium,” “Standard,” “Good,” “Detailed” and “Excellent.” Or you can choose to specify
the bit rate (fixed bitrate or CBR) of the video the camera must not exceed. In this mode
the camera varies
the image quality automatically to not exceed the specified maximum. With setting fixed
quality plus maximum bitrates, the camera would try to meet the quality requirement
without exceed the certain bitrates.
