Manual Description Under Constant Bit Rate mode CBR the camera keeps the stable bitrate regardless of the complexity of the scene Under this mode the video quality may vary if the bit rate value is set too low It is easier to do storage and network bandwidth consumption estimations under this mode compared to Variable Bit Rate mode Under Variable Bit Rate mode VBR the camera will keep the video quality stable while the bit rate may occasionally go up or down depending on the complexity of the scene The bitrate will be floating slightly under that limit For example if the limit is set as 2M the bitrate will be floating around 1 6 2 0 Mbps If the Max Bitrate is Unlimited then the Bitrate selection box will appear that defines the bit rate level When Max Bitrate is Unlimited the user can define the AVERAGE bit rate For example if the Bitrate is 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 The user can define the quality with the numeric scale from 1 to 100 The default MJPEG quality is 60 The higher is the quality level the more bit rate the camera will use to achieve the target quality However note that local Live View can
