Figure 4-15 Video Quality - Honeywell 30 Series Configuration Manual

Smart FPS
In a static scene, the algorithm puts old frames in queue when no motions occur in scene.
When motions occur, the encoding returns to normal to deliver real-time streaming.
By queuing the old frames from a static scene, both the computing efforts and the size of P
frames are reduced. It is beneficial for keeping up with the frame rate requirements.
A default frame difference threshold, 1%, is embedded in firmware for returning from Smart
FPS to normal encoding when motions occur.
Smart codec
Smart codec effectively reduces the quality of the whole or the non-interested areas on a
screen and therefore reduces the bandwidth consumed.
You can manually specify the video quality for the foreground and the background areas.

Select an operation mode if Smart codec is preferred.
•
Auto tracking: The Auto mode configures the whole screen into the non-interested area.
The video quality of part of the screen returns to normal when one or more objects move
in that area. The remainder of the screen where there are no moving objects (no pixel
changes) will still be transmitted in low-quality format.
•
Manual: The Manual mode allows you to configure 3 ROI windows (Region of Interest,
with Foreground quality) on the screen. Areas not included in any ROI windows will be
considered as the non-interested areas. The details in the ROI areas will be transmitted in
a higher-quality video format.
•
Hybrid: The major difference between the "Manual" mode and the "Hybrid" mode is that:
In the "Hybrid" mode, any objects entering the non-interested area will restore the video
quality of the moving objects and the area around them. The video quality of the
associated non-interested area is immediately restored to normal to cover the moving
objects.
In the "Manual" mode, the non-interested area is always transmitted using a low-quality
format regardless of the activities occurring inside.
•
Quality priority: Drag the slider to adjust the quality contrast between the ROI and non-
interested areas.
•
The farther the slider is to the right, the higher the image quality of the ROI areas.
•
On the contrary, the farther the slider to the left, the higher the image quality of the
non-interested area.
Configuring Camera Settings
Slider to the right - higher quality in the ROI
areas
Slider to the left - higher quality in the non-ROI
areas.
