Parameter	Descripon
Video Compression	Three opons: H.265, H.264 and MJPEG.Note:Image Quality cannot be set when Video Compression is set to H.265 or H.264. When set to MJPEG, only three frame rates are available: 1, 3 and 5; and Bit Rate, I Frame Interval, Smoothing and U-Code cannot be set.The bit rate changes to the default when you change the setng between H.264 and H.265. The default bit rate for H.265 is half of that for H.264.
Frame Rate	Frame rate for encoding images. Unit: FPS (frame per second).Note:To ensure image quality, note that the frame rate should not be greater than the reciprocal of shuer speed.
Bitrate Type	CBR: Constant Bit Rate, which means that the camera transmits data at a constant data rate.VBR: Variable Bit Rate, which means that the camera adjusts the bit rate dynamically according to image quality.
Image Quality	When Encoding Mode is VBR, you can move the slider to adjust quality level for images.Moving the slider toward Bit Rate decreases the bit rate and may aect image quality.Moving the slider toward Quality increases the bit rate and improves image quality.
I Frame Interval	Interval at which an I frame is encoded. Normally, a shorter I frame interval oers beer image quality but consumes more bandwidth.
GOP	Group Of Pictures in MPEG video encoding. This parameter species the order in which intra-frames (I frame) and inter-frames are arranged.
SVC	SVC (Scalable Video Coding) can reduce storage without compromising playback quality.
U-Code	Basic Mode: The actual bit rate is around 3/4 of the set bit rate.Advanced Mode: The actual bit rate is around 1/2 of the set bit rate.Note:When U-Code is enabled, video compression only supports H.264 and H.265. MJPEG is not supported.When U-Code is enabled, the capture mode does not support frame rates higher than 30.
Smoothing	Set the extent of smoothing. Choosing Clear means disabling Smoothing.Moving the slider toward Smooth increases the level of smoothing but will aect image quality.Note:In a poor network environment, you can enable smoothing to get more uent video.
BNC Output	BNC output supports NTSC and PAL.

In this case, you only need to connect the zoom and focus interfaces of the camera to the lens, and then you can operate the PTZ like an internal PTZ.
PTZ Mode	Built-in PTZ Priority: When this opon is selected, the camera rst tries to control the PTZ (for example, to zoom or focus) by itself instead of through the external PTZ. For operaons that the camera cannot accomplish by itself, the camera uses the external PTZ.External PTZ Priority: The camera rst tries to control the PTZ through the PTZ connected through the serial port.Note:You can set this parameter only when Port Mode is set to PTZ Control.When INTERNAL-PTZ is selected, this parameter is always set to Built-in PTZ Priority, and it is unnecessary to connect the camera to an external PTZ through the serial port. Control through the external PTZ is not eecve even when the camera has been connected to an external PTZ.Set this parameter as required. Make sure PTZ control related interfaces are correctly connected.
Address Code	Set the address code for the PTZ.Note:You can set this parameter only when Port Mode is set to PTZ Control and PTZ Protocol is not set to INTERNAL-PTZ.

3. Click Save.
