Tip: You can quickly reduce the bandwidth usage for all cameras in the view by reducing the
image quality for a single camera, then clicking the Apply To All button.
Keep When Maximized
When viewing live or recorded video, you can double-click a particular camera position in a view to
enlarge it (see page 58 or 72). When you do this, video from the camera is by default displayed in
full quality, regardless of your image quality selection.
If you want to make sure that the selected image quality also applies when enlarged, select the
Keep when maximized box, located immediately below the Image Quality setting.
Frame Rate
Lets you select a frame rate for the camera. Select between Unlimited (default), Medium, or Low.
The effect of your selection can be illustrated by the following table:
Effect Unlimited Medium Low
JPEG Send all frames Send every 4th
frame Send every 20th
frame
MPEG (I-frame) Send all frames Send all frames Send all frames
MPEG (P-frame) Send all frames Do not send any
frames
Do not send any
frames
Example: If you set the Frame Rate option to Low in your Smart Client, and your surveillance
system administrator has configured the camera to feed JPEG images at a frame rate of 20 frames
per second, you will experience an average of 1 frame per second when viewing video from the
camera on your Smart Client’s Live tab. If your administrator had configured a camera with a feed
as low as 4 frames per second, you would, with Frame Rate set to Low in your Smart Client,
experience an average of 0,2 frames per second when viewing video from the camera on your
Smart Client’s Live tab.
Fisheye Split Mode
Available only if the selected camera is
a fisheye camera. Fisheye is a
technology that allows creation and
viewing of 360-degree panoramic
images.
The Smart Client supports up to four
different viewpoints from a single
fisheye camera. The Fisheye Split M
list lets you select the required spilt
mode:
ode
• One by One lets you view a
single viewpoint.
• Two by Two lets you view four different viewpoints at a time.
When viewed on any of the Smart Client’s tabs, the fisheye camera will appear as specified, with
either one or four viewpoints from the same image. The illustration provides an example of Two by
Two: The Live tab displays four different viewpoints from a single fisheye camera. In the example,
the fisheye camera’s four viewpoints are enlarged for clarity.
