Aspect ratio: Set the aspect ratio of the video to 4:3 standard or 16:9 widescreen. Mode: Set the video codec to be used to JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264. Frame size / View window area: Frame size determines the total capture resolution, and View Window Area determines the Live Video viewing window size. If the Frame size is larger than the Live Video size, you can use the ePTZ controls to look around. 16:9 - 1920x1080, 1280x720, 800x450, 640x360, 480x270, 320x1760, or 176x144 4:3 - 2048x1536, 1600x1200, 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480, 480x360, 320x240, or 176x144 Maximum frame rate: A higher frame rate provides smoother motion for videos.

In general, any frame rate above 15 fps is imperceptible to the human eye. Video Quality: This limits the maximal refresh frame rate, which can be combined with the "Fixed quality" option to optimize the bandwidth utilization and video quality. If fixed bandwidth utilization is desired regardless of the video quality, choose Constant bit rate and select the desired bandwidth. Constant bit rate: The bps will affect the bit rate of the video recorded by the camera. Higher bit rates result in higher video quality. Fixed quality: Select the image quality level for the camera to try to maintain. High quality levels will result in increased bit rates. D-Link DCS-3716 User Manual 29
