Changing Camera Resolution

1. In the camera GUI, navigate to Setup > Video & Audio and select the sub-option for "Video", or Configuration > Video
2. The recommended video resolution for cameras to have a better video quality with Spot system should be as followed: 

For Appliances starting with sn5a and up, and enterprise Appliances (snae, snea, snae2):

• Video Encoding: H.265/H.264 (H.264 is acceptable if H.265 is not an option)
• Video resolution: Up to 5MP (2560x1920 [4:3] or 2880x1620 [16:9])
• FPS: 15
• Rate Control/Bitrate Type: CBR (Constant)
• Bitrate: 2048 Kbps 
• I-Frame Rate: 15 (should match FPS, may not be an available setting)

For Appliances starting with sn4e and up:

• Video Encoding: H.265/H.264 ((H.264 is acceptable if H.265 is not an option))
• Video resolution: Up to 2MP (1920x1080)
• FPS: 15
• Rate Control/Bitrate Type: CBR (Constant)
