AXIS M5000-G PTZ CameraLearn moreThe Stream tab contains settings for video streams. You get these settings if you request a video stream from the product and don’tspecify for example resolution, or frame rate. When you change the settings in the Stream tab, it doesn’t affect ongoing streams, butit will take effect when you start a new stream.The Stream profiles settings override the settings from the Stream tab. If you request a stream with a specific stream profile, thestream contains the settings of that profile. If you request a stream without specifying a stream profile, or request a stream profilethat doesn't exist in the product, the stream contains the settings from the Stream tab.Bitrate controlBitrate control helps you to manage the bandwidth consumption of your video stream.Variable bitrate (VBR)Variable bitrate allows the bandwidth consumption to vary depending on the level of activity in the scene. The more activity,the more bandwidth you need. With variable bitrate you are guaranteed constant image quality, but you need to make sureyou have storage margins.Maximum bitrate (MBR)Maximum bitrate lets you set a target bitrate to handle bitrate limitations in your system. You might see a decline in image quality orframe rate as the instantaneous bitrate is kept below the specified target bitrate. You can choose to prioritize either image qualityor frame rate. We recommend that you configure the target bitrate to a higher value than the expected bitrate. This gives you amargin in case there is a high level of activity in the scene.1 Target bitrateAverage bitrate (ABR)With average bitrate, the bitrate is automatically adjusted over a longer period of time. This is so you can meet the specified targetand provide the best video quality based on your available storage. Bitrate is higher in scenes with a lot of activity, compared to staticscenes. You are more likely to get better image quality when in scenes with a lot of activity if you use the average bitrate option. You58
