Figure 5-5 Video Stream
Format
Select from four options for Encode Mode: H.264 (Main Profile), H.264H (High Profile),
H.264B (Baseline Profile), and MJPEG mode.
H.264: Main profile encoding mode.
H.264H: High profile encoding mode.
H.264B: Baseline profile encoding mode.
MJPEG: In this encoding mode, the video needs a larger bit stream to guarantee the video
definition. You can use the maximum bit stream value in the Recommended Bit to get better
video output.
Smart Codec
Set Smart Codec to ON or OFF.
By taking reference frames and applying them to refreshed frames, Smart Codec eliminates
the need to transmit data for an unchanged image or parts of the image where there is no
movement. Used together with H.264, Smart Codec can lead to storage savings of up to 60
percent and bandwidth savings of up to 40 percent over H.264 alone.
