How to set recording quality during recording (from high quality to low quality)

Note: This setting does not apply to external codecs. It applies only to oCamโ€™s built-in codec.

Lowering the recording quality will reduce the size of the recorded video file, but the image quality will also become worse.


There is a menu at the top of oCam. Click Tools - Options, then click Encoding on the left, and you can select the video quality as shown below.

By default, it is set to Very High (high quality).


During recording, the video quality can be selected using the following levels.
