Theavailable options are:Motion JPEGMotion JPEG or MJPEG is a digital video sequence that is made up of a series of individual JPEG images. These images are thendisplayed and updated at a rate sufficient to create a stream that shows constantly updated motion. For the viewer to perceive motionvideo the rate must be at least 16 image frames per second. Full motion video is perceived at 30 (NTSC) or 25 (PAL) frames per second.The Motion JPEG stream uses considerable amounts of bandwidth, but provides excellent image quality and access to every imagecontained in the stream.H.264 or MPEG-4 Part 10/AVCNoteH.264 is a licensed technology. The Axis product includes one H.264 viewing client license. Installing additional unlicensedcopies of the client is prohibited. To purchase additional licenses, contact your Axis reseller.H.264 can, without compromising image quality, reduce the size of a digital video file by more than 80% compared to the MotionJPEG format and by as much as 50% compared to the MPEG-4 standard. This means that less network bandwidth and storage spaceare required for a video file. Or seen another way, higher video quality can be achieved for a given bitrate.Reduce bandwidth and storageImportantIf you reduce the bandwidth it can result in loss of details in the picture.1.
