AXIS F41 Main UnitVideo and AudioAlways verify that the video stream meets the quality requirements for your surveillance purposes after changing the video streamsettings.MJPEGSometimes the image size is large due to low light or complex scenery. Adjusting the maximum frame size helps to control thebandwidth and storage used by the Motion JPEG video stream in these situations. Setting the frame size to the Default settingprovides consistently good image quality at the expense of increased bandwidth and storage usage in low light. Limiting the framesize optimizes bandwidth and storage usage, but may give poor image quality. To prevent increased bandwidth and storage usage,the maximum frame size should be set to an optimal value.About stream profilesA stream profile is a set of predefined stream settings including resolution, compression, frame rate and overlay settings.
