     This [Video Settings] submenu is common with the [Video Setting s] submenu found in [Video and Audio] or [Video], and [Video 
    Record]. A setting configured in any of the [Video Settings] subm enus will be reflected in the other [Video Settings] submenus.
     The following may occur if video size, video  quality and target bit rate are set higher, as this increases network load and da ta size per 
    frame. – JPEG: The frame rate may drop
    – H.264: Video may be temporarily disrupted
     In case of H.264 video, block noise may become noticeable if  a large video size and low target bit rate are set.
     The data size may increase depending on the type or movement of  the subject. If the frame rate remains low or other undesirable 
    conditions continue for a prolonged period, lo wer the video size or quality setting.
     The included RM-Lite can only record JPEG video.

    Select this to enable or disable Auto Flip.
    If you enable Auto Flip and tilt the cam era using the video display area in the Ad min Viewer/VB Viewer (P. 147), the video 
    will flip when the tilt angle of the camera nears 100°.
    For example, if tracking a subject that  passes directly under a ceiling mounted camera (tilt angle 90°), the video will flip as 
    the tilt angle nears 100° without  the subject appearing inverted.
    Note
    Auto Flip may be disabled depending on the View Restriction Setting Tool settings (P. 209).
