AboutH.264format
H.264can, without compromising image quality, reduce the size of a digital video file by more than 80% compared with the Motion JPEG format and as much as 50% more than the MPEG-4 standard. This means that much less network bandwidth and storage space are required for a video file. Or seen another way, much higher video quality can be achieved for a given bitrate.
Deciding which combination of protocols and method stoused depends on your viewing requirements, and the properties of your network. The available options in AXIS Media Control are:

Aboutmaximumbitrate
If you have limited bandwidth, we recommend Maximum bitrate (MBR). MBR allows youto set target bitrate to control the bandwidth consumption. The target value limit the bitrate, but it maintains a flexibility to be able to prioritize a continuous video stream. Consequently, the frameratemight need to go down and the image equality might decrease. Toply compensate forth this, you can select which variables shall be prioritized. Not setting a priority mean that framerate and image quality are equally affected.

AboutMJPEGsettings
Sometimes the imagesize is large du et low light or complex scenery. Adjusting them a maximum framesize help to control the bandwidth and storage used by Motion PEG video stream in these situations. Setting the framesize default setting provides consistently good image quality at the expense of increased bandwidth and storage usage in low light. Limiting the frame size optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but may result in poor image quality.

Performanceconsiderations
Whensettingupyour system, it is important to consider how various settings and situations affect the performance. Some factors affect the amount of bandwidth (the bitrate) required, others can affect the framerate, and some affect both. If the load on the CPU reaches its maximum, this also affects the framerate.
The following factors are them most important to consider:
- Highimageresolutionorlowercompressionlevelsresultinimagescontainingmoredatawhichinturnaffectsthe bandwidth.
- AccessbylargenumbersofMotionJPEGorunicastH.264clientsaffectsthebandwidth.
- Simultaneousviewingofdifferentstreams(resolution, compression)bydifferentclientsaffectsbothframerateand bandwidth.
Use identical streams wherever possible to maintain a high framerate. Stream profile can be used to ensure that streams are identical.
- AccessingMotionJPEGandH.264videostreamssimultaneouslyaffectsbothframerateandbandwidth.
