Unable to set max bitrate in bodyworn camera

[Forever-learning95]

Our technical team has provided the following additional feedback and questions:
• The continuous recording file is automatically split every 15 minutes, and the camera does not allow configuring the file split duration.
Is there any option or API available to adjust this setting?
• The camera operates with Variable Bitrate (VBR) and does not support direct switching between CBR and VBR modes or set maximum bitrate in VBR.
Is there any option or API to modify or control this behavior?
• The camera only provides four predefined resolution profiles as listed above, and parameters such as bitrate and frame rate cannot be manually configured.
Is there any option or API to customize these settings?

Hi @Forever-learning95 ,
Public API
Which body-worn camera do you have? Or maybe be good to upload the server report? 😉

In general:
In my understanding, there is no API for body-worn cameras. For example, the AXIS W800 System Controller - User manual says:

Add cameras

Hi @vivekatoffice

I have Axis W101 body worn camera and Axis W800 System Controller.
As you explained, we can't adjust in Axis W101.
Do you have anyway to adjust our requirements in Axis W800 ?

Hi @Forever-learning95 ,
I can confirm:

Axis Body worn solutions don’t have the possibility to control frame rate in Body worn cameras, it's fixed based on the power line frequency you set for the system.

1080p High has a VBR max cap of 18Mbit/s, 1080p is at 12 Mbit/s. These devices don’t support CBR.

Hi @vivekatoffice ,

Can you share me about the max bitrate of 720p and 720p high ?

[vivekatoffice]

720p(high and normal) is 10 Mbit/s (10,000 kbit/s). What is the use case for this? In what context is this data useful for you?

Hi @vivekatoffice

I understand we can't limit or set max bitrate lower the maximum bitrate of Axis bodycam.
What is the maximum bitrate 720p and 720p (high)?

[vivekatoffice]

Hi @Forever-learning95 ,
I understand that these(max VBR) are not configurable. 720p(high and normal) is 10 Mbit/s (10,000 kbit/s)

I have looked around for publicly available details, but do you mind explaining to me the use case and requirement so I will be able to ask the Product team to release the info here: Add cameras

You can also create a case in Axis online helpdesk and request more product details as per your use case 😄

Hi @vivekatoffice

Is 10 Mbit/s the maximum bitrate of 720p and 720p high (include video and audio) ?

[vivekatoffice]

Yes, Its is a Max limit(variable bit rates) for 720p: 10,000 kbit/s (independent of high/normal profile). Including video and audio.
