The default MJPEG quality is 60 The higher is the quality level the more bit rate the device will use to achieve the target quality Under VBR mode it is possible to adjust the GOP length that is the occurrence rate of Lirames By default there is one I frame per second For example in case of 30fps there will be 1 I frame and 29 GOP 1 frame P frames every second by default When the GOP is changed to 1 only for H 264 l frame per 5 seconds then there will be one I frame followed by 149 P frames In case of the static scenes long GOP can further minimize the bandwidth and storage consumption After changing any of the items above click Apply to save the changes The Reset button undoes the changes that had just been made but not applied yet DA ACTI Encoder Firmware User s Manual H1 00 Motion Detection The Motion Detection section allows the user to configure the video motion detection system of the device Motion detection regions are based on the Stream 1 By default all the regions are disabled Runtime MD Profile e Enabled Trigger Interval 5 Trigger Threshold 2 D 10 54 3 70 10 D Click Setup to adjust the motion detection regions or its parameters NOTE Microsoft Internet Explorer browser is required to configure the motion detection regions There are three independently configurable motion detection regions in the device Each motion detection region has 6 configuration
