[Advanced (fixed GOP 60s + 1s keyframe)] can reduce the volume regardless of the presence of detected objects.


・When [Frame rate control (Variable GOP 4s‑16s + frame rate control)] is set, the frame rate can be changed from 1fps to [Frame rate*] according to the presence or absence of the detected object.


・If [Frame rate control (Variable GOP 4s‑16s + frame rate control)] is set, the display may temporarily slow down or speed up when the frame rate is switched.
[Refresh interval]
H.265 (or H.264) Selects the interval (i-picture interval: 0.2 to 5 seconds) at which images are refreshed.
If there are many errors in the network environment, setting a shorter refresh interval will reduce image distortion.
However, the image update speed may decrease or the set bit rate may be exceeded.
[0.2s]／ [0.25s]／ [0.33s]／ [0.5s]／ [1s]／ [2s]／ [3s]／ [4s]／ [5s]
[Notice]

・If [GOP control] is set to [Low (variable GOP 1s‑8s)], the refresh rate is set to the highest 8s.


・If [GOP control] is set to [Mid (variable GOP 4s‑16s)], the refresh rate is set to the highest 16s.


・If [GOP control] is set to [Advanced (fixed GOP 60s + 1s keyframe)], the refresh rate is set to 60s.


・If [GOP control] is set to [Frame rate control (Variable GOP 4s‑16s + frame rate control)], the frame rate will vary between the 1fps and [Frame rate*] settings according to the size of the change in the picture.


The smaller the frame rate, the longer the refresh interval. The refresh rate is at most 16s.
