artificial light source of a given country.

Stream Mode

*

1

Select one of the streaming modes this device supports.

VGA Aspect Ratio

It is used to define the aspect ratio of VGA stream

– it can be either

4:3 ratio (640x480) or 16:9 ratio (640x360). When “Auto Detected

is chosen, the VGA stream will follow the ratio of the higher

resolution stream, to ensure the identical view of stream 1 and

stream 2.

Mounting Type

*

Choose the Mounting Type according to how the camera is

mounted to display the appropriate view. There are two options:

Maximum Bitrate

This puts a hard cap on the maximum bit rate allowed in any given

second of streaming. Assigning a limited bit rate may cause a few

dropped frames when the stream data overflows the allowed bit

rate.

Bitrate

*

When Maximum Bitrate is chosen as

Unlimited”, the user can

define the AVERAGE bit rate. For example, if the Bitrate is chosen

2M, then occasionally, the actual bit rate may go below or beyond

2M, but in the long run, the average bit rate will be very close to

2M. This mode allows the most accurate storage estimations,

however, while planning the bandwidth, please consider the

occasional peaks of bit rate.
