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.
In this way, you may set up an ROI window as a privacy mask by covering a protected area
using an ROI window, while the rest of the screen becomes the non-interested area. You
may then configure the non-interested area to have a high image quality, or vice versa.
Bit rate control
Constrained bit rate
A complex scene generally produces a larger file size, meaning that higher bandwidth will be
needed for data transmission. The bandwidth utilization is configurable to match a selected
level, resulting in mutable video quality performance.
• Image quality: Select a desired quality ranging from Medium to Excellent. If you select
Customized, you can enter a value to specify the quality.
Maximum bit rate: Select a bit rate from the dropdown list. The bit rate ranges from 20
•
Kbps to a maximum of 80 Mbps. If you select Customized, you can enter a value to
specify the maximum bit rate.
• Priority: If Frame rate is selected, the camera will try to maintain the frame rate per
second performance, while the image quality will be compromised. If Image quality is
selected, the camera may drop some video frames in order to maintain image quality.
Fixed quality
All frames are transmitted with the same quality.
• Quality: Select a desired quality ranging from Medium to Excellent. If you select
Customized, you can enter a value to specify the quality.
