Thanks for that. So on the encoders i'm using I have options for Bit rate control and frame rate control. If I set an encoder to frame rate control and it's minimum quantiser value (highest quality) does the bit rate value make any difference? Does the encoder just use what it needs or does it try to keep the bit rate near to the set value? What happens if at the above settings the maximum bit rate bandwidth on the encoder is reached by a very busy image? i.e. will it start to drop frames? thanks again

Hi All, I am reletively new to CCTV and have just started working with DVTel and other IP based CCTV products. I'm trying to get an understanding of the relationship between Quantizer and quality settings in encoders. What are minimum and maximum quantizers? How does setting he encoders to frame rate or bit rate effect quality, and how does the quantizer play its part in all this? Many thanks,

Hi, The DVTel encoders are rebadged Verint encoders. I dont see much performance difference between pelco and DVtel but have only seen the pelco setup the 1 time. Dvtel will give you more custom options when configuring your veiwing and recording streams.
