For information on image compression methods, see the following:
→Reducing Data Capacity with Smart Coding

・

For information on how to deliver, see the following:
→About delivery volume control (bit rate)

・

For details on each setting method, refer to the user manual.

3.10.2About delivery volume control (bit rate)

There are the following types of delivery modes for stream delivery volume control (bit rate), and they are set according to the case. You can also use smart coding, such as [Auto VIQS], to reduce the volume. For information about controlling the delivery of streams, see the following: For details, refer to the user manual.
→Reducing Data Capacity with Smart Coding

・

Constant Bit Rate :
Delivers H.265 (or H.264) images at the bitrate set in [Max bit rate (per client) *].

・

Variable bit rate :
Delivers H.265 (or H.264) images at the frame rate set in [Frame rate*] while maintaining the image quality level set in [Image quality]. At this time, the bit rate is distributed with a variable value within the maximum bit rate set in [Max bit rate (per client) *]. The recording capacity varies depending on the [Image quality] setting and the object status.

・

Frame rate specification:
Delivers H.265 (or H.264) images at the frame rate set in [Frame rate*].

・

Best effort delivery:
Depending on the bandwidth of your network, you can distribute H.265 (or H.264) images at varying bit rates, up to the maximum bit rate set in [Max bit rate (per client) *].

3.10.3Reducing Data Capacity with Smart Coding

Smart coding is a data-compression technique that reduces the amount of compression to sharpen human faces, increases the amount of compression in the background, or optimizes the amount of compression by object.

➣

Live image pages settings pane>[Detail setting]>[Camera detailed setting]>[Image], or [Image/Audio] in the Advanced menu on the left>Clicking [Image] brings up the Smart Coding Settings window.

This image is an image. It differs from how the screen is actually viewed.

[Auto VIQS]

Keeps the image quality of moving parts high. The image quality in the area where there is no movement will be the image quality where the amount of data decreases, and then the image will be distributed.

[GOP control]

You can reduce the amount of data.
