Administrator’s Capabilities Fine-tuning for Best Performance There are a few choices the Administrator is allowed to maximize the capabilities of the Network Camera. Best performance generally equates to the fastest image refresh rate with the best video quality, and at the lowest network bandwidth as possible. The three factors, “Maximum frame rate”, “Fix bit rate”, and “Fix quality” on the Video Configuration page, are correlative to allow for achieving the best performanc

system and 30 fps in a 60Hz system. If your network bandwidth is more than 384Kbps, you can fix the bit rate according to your bandwidth and set the maximum frame rate to 25 fps or 30 fps. If you are shooting fast-moving images, you may want to slow the maximum frame rate down to 20 fps in order to lower the rate of data transmission. This allows for better video quality and the human eyes cannot readily detect the differences between those of 20, 25, or 30 frames per second. I
