The BOSCH DINION 5100I IR NBE-5704-AL-GOV offers several encoder profiles to prioritize image quality or bit rate for different scenarios.

To optimize image quality and bandwidth on your BOSCH DINION 5100I IR NBE-5704-AL-GOV, even with increased movement in the picture, configure the quality settings as follows:

Step 1. Observe the coverage area during normal movement in the preview images.

Step 2. Set the value for Min. P-frame QP to the highest value at which the image quality still meets your needs. (A lower QP value means higher quality and higher data load).

Step 3. Set the value for I/P-frame delta QP to the lowest possible value. This saves bandwidth in normal scenes, and the quality is retained during increased movement because the bandwidth usage will increase up to the value set under Maximum bit rate.
