3.
Scroll down to the Bandwidth Control section and select VBR or CBR to adjust the bit
rate.

VBR (Variable Bitrate): The quality of the video stream is kept as constant as
possible at the cost of a varying bitrate. The bandwidth is utilized much more
efficiently than CBR. Set the image quality to one of the 5 standards: Standard, Fair,
Good, Great and Excellent. Configure the Maximal Bit Rate, which is the
maximum bit rate that the device allows. Select a bit rate from the drop-down list or
select Auto if you do not want to enable this function.

CBR (Constant Bitrate): The bit rate is maintained relatively stable by varying the
quality of the H.264 stream. Select a bit rate from the drop-down list.
4.
Click Save to store your settings on the Video Settings page.
