4.2.2 Video / Audio Configuration
Go to Image→Video / Audio interface as shown below. In this interface, set the resolution, frame rate, bitrate type, video quality and so on subject to the actual network condition.

text_image
Video Audio Index Stream Resolution Frame Rate Bitrate Type Bitrate(Kbps) Video Quality I Frame Video Profile 1 Main stream 2592x1520 30 CBR 4096 Highest 120 H265 High Profile 2 Sub stream 704x480 30 CBR 768 Highest 120 H264 High Profile 3 Third stream 352x240 30 CBR 512 Higher 120 H264 High Profile Send Snapshot Sub stream Size: (704x480) Watermark (H264, H265) Watermark content: SaveThree video streams can be adjustable.
Resolution: The size of image.
Frame rate: The higher the frame rate, the video is smoother.
Bitrate type: CBR and VBR are optional. Bitrate is related to image quality. CBR means that no matter how much change is seen in the video scene, the compression bitrate will be kept constant. VBR means that the compression bitrate will be adjusted according to scene changes. For example, for scenes that do not have much movement, the bitrate will be kept at a lower value. This can help optimize the network bandwidth usage.
Bitrate: it can be adjusted when the mode is set to CBR. The higher the bitrate, the better the image quality will be.
Video Quality: It can be adjusted when the mode is set to VBR. The higher the image quality, the more bitrate will be required.
I Frame interval: It determines how many frames are allowed between a "group of pictures". When a new scene begins in a video, until that scene ends, the entire group of frames (or pictures) can be considered as a group of pictures. If there is not much movement in the scene, setting the value higher than the frame rate is fine, potentially resulting in less bandwidth usage. However, if the value is set too high, and there is a high frequency of movement in the video, there is a risk of frame skipping.
Video Compression: MJPEG, H264+, H264, H264S (Smart H.264), H265, H265+ or H265S (Smart H.265) can be optional. MJPEG is not available for main stream. If H.265/H.265+/H.265S is chosen, make sure the client system is able to decode H.265/H.265+/H.265S. Compared to H.265+/H.265, smart H.265 can spontaneously adjust the bitrate distribution according to the requirements of the actual scene. For example, when there is no human or vehicle detected, the bitrate will be automatically reduced with no effect on image quality by using H.265S. Compared to H.265, H.265+ saves more storage space with the same maximum bitrate in most scenes. Compared to H.264, H.265 reduces the transmission bitrate under the same resolution, frame rate and image quality.
Profile: For H.264. Baseline, main and high profiles are selectable.
Send Snapshot: Set the snapshot stream.
Video encode slice split: If this function is enabled, smooth image can be gotten even though using the low-performance PC.
Watermark: When playing back the local recorded video in the search interface, the watermark can be displayed. To enable it, check the watermark box and enter the watermark text.

If unchecked, the camera will not send out any signals to trigger motion-based recording to the NVR or CMS, even if there is motion in the video.
Alarm Holding Time: it refers to the interval time between the adjacent motion detections. For instance, if the alarm holding time is set to 20 seconds, once the camera detects a motion, it will go to alarm and would not detect any other motion in 20 seconds. If there is another motion detected during this period, it will be considered as continuous movement; otherwise it will be considered as a single motion.
Alarm Out: If selected, this would trigger an external relay output that is connected to the camera on detecting a motion-based alarm.
Trigger SD Snap: If selected, the system will capture images on motion detection and save the images on an SD card.
Trigger SD Recording: If selected, video will be recorded on an SD card on motion detection.

This series of IP cameras supports certain smart functions, such as line crossing detection, region intrusion detection, etc. These events can be triggered as alarm events.
For more accuracy, here are some recommendations for installation.
- Cameras should be installed on stable surfaces, as vibrations can affect the accuracy of detection.
-
Avoid pointing the camera at the reflective surfaces (like shiny floors, mirrors, glass, lake surfaces and so on).
-
Avoid places that are narrow or have too much shadowing.
- Avoid scenario where the object's color is similar to the background color.
- At any time of day or night, please make sure the image of the camera is clear and with adequate and even light, avoiding overexposure or too much darkness on both sides.
6.2.1 Object Removal
