MPEG video format
With MPEG, you can define frame rate and other settings:
Frame rate
Properties available in all XProtect software versions:
Frame rate per second
Frame rate for viewing live and recorded video from the camera.
Select number of frames per second.
Properties available in XProtect Enterprise, XProtect Professional and XProtect Express only:
Record keyframes only
Keyframes stored at specified intervals record the entire view of the
camera, whereas the following frames record only pixels that
change. This helps greatly reducing the size of MPEG files. Select
the check box if you only want to record keyframes. Note that you
can specify exceptions if motion is detected or events occur.
Record all frames on motion
Allows you to make exceptions if you have selected to record
keyframes only. Select this check box to record all frames when
motion is detected. Two seconds after the last motion is detected,
the camera will return to recording keyframes only.
Record all frames on event
Allows you to make exceptions if you have selected to record
keyframes only. Select this check box to record all frames when an
event occurs and until another event occurs. Use of this feature
requires that events (see "Overview of events and output" on page
107) have been defined, and that you select start and stop events in
the neighboring lists.
Start Event
Use when recording on Event or Motion Detection & Event.
Select required start event. The camera begins recording all frames
when the start event occurs.
Stop Event
Select required stop event. The camera only records keyframes
when the stop event occurs.
Dual stream
Enable dedicated live stream
This additional stream feature lets you use the alternative stream of
the camera. It enables two independent streams to the recording
server
—a stream for live viewing and another stream for recording
purposes, with different resolution, encoding, and frame rate.
Stream
Select the type of the live stream. Stream settings for viewing live
video and for recording video may very well be different in order to
get the best result.
Resolution Select the resolution of the camera.
FPS Select the camera's live frame rate per second (FPS)
Audio
When you configure video and recording (see "About video and recording configuration" on page 65)
for specific cameras, properties include the possibility of selecting a default microphone and/or
