Configuring Priority Settings: Quality, Bit Rate, and Frame Rate
Honeywell's H.264 cameras use efficient compression technology to provide high picture
quality at minimal bandwidth.
The default settings are based on typical user requirements and settings and are adequate
for most scenes. However, scenes with higher than average motion may require additional
configuration.

Selecting Quality for Priority
When Quality is selected as the priority, you can adjust the Compression Ratio and/or the
Maximum Bit Rate.

Description
The camera maintains the picture quality
until the bit rate delivered exceeds the
Maximum Bit Rate (MBR), at which point
the camera drops frames to ensure that
the MBR is not exceeded.
The camera adjusts the picture quality to
ensure that the bit rate delivered does not
exceed the Target Bit Rate (TBR), at
which point the camera drops frames to
ensure that the TBR is not exceeded.
The camera maintains the selected frame
rate while adjusting image quality to meet
the TBR. This mode allows the actual bit
rate to fluctuate beyond the user-defined
TBR while maintaining the selected frame
rate.
Default setting is Medium. Selecting Minimum or Low will Default setting is Medium. Selecting Minimum or Low will
increase overall picture quality and increased delivered bit rate. increase overall picture quality and increased delivered bit rate.
If the maximum bit rate exceeds the current threshold, the
frame rate will drop.
