Encoder Settings Introduction to encoder settings The encoder settings determine the characteristics of the four streams generated by the camera. The types of streams that can be generated are: – HD.
Encoder Profile Profiles are rather complex and include a number of parameters that interact with one another, so it is generally best to use the pre-defined profiles. Only change a profile if completely familiar with all the configuration options. Pre-defined profiles Eight definable profiles are available.
Target bit rate To optimize use of the bandwidth in the network, limit the data rate for the device. The target data rate should be set according to the desired picture quality for typical scenes with no excessive motion.
I-frame distance Use the slider to set the distance between I-frames to Auto or to between 3 and 60 . An entry of 3 means that every third image is an I-frame.
Object delta QP Select the appropriate encoding quality level for an object region defined in Encoder Regions. The lower the QP value, the higher the encoding quality. Default Click Default to return the profile to the factory default values. 7.2.8 Camera Browser Interface Encoder Settings | en 47 Bosch Security Systems 2015.
Encoder Streams H.264 settings Select H.264 Settings 1. Select a codec algorithm Property for stream 1 from the drop-down box. 2. Select the Non-recording profile for stream 1 from the eight profiles that have been defined. – This profile is not used for recording.
Encoder Regions Encoder regions are used to increase or decrease the encoding quality for selectable areas of the image. They can be used to give better control of the bitrate by enhancing the encoding quality of important regions (objects) and decreasing the encoding quality of less important regions (background).
Recording Introduction to recording Images can be recorded to an appropriately configured iSCSI system or, for devices with an SD slot, locally to an SD card. SD cards are the ideal solution for shorter storage times and temporary recordings. They can be used for local alarm recording or to improve the overall reliability of video recording.
Storage Management Device manager The Device manager indicates if storage is controlled locally or by a VRM system. An external Video Recording Manager (VRM) system for the unit is configured via the Configuration Manager. Recording media Select a media tab to connect to the available storage media.
Note: SD card recording performance is highly dependent on the speed (class) and performance of the SD card. An SD card of Class 6 or higher is recommended. Activating and configuring storage media Available media or iSCSI drives must be transferred to the Managed storage media list, activated, and configured for storage.
