2. For GV-VS11, four resolution options and three codec types are available for both streaming 1 and 2.
3. The frame rate and the performance may vary depending on the number of connections and data bitrates (different scenes).
[Bandwidth Management]
When using MPEG-4 or H.264, it is possible to control the bitrate, which in turn allows the amount of bandwidth usage to be controlled.
VBR (Variable Bitrate): The quality of the video stream is kept as constant as possible at the cost of a varying bitrate. The bandwidth is much more efficiently used than a comparable CBR.
Set the image quality to one of the 5 standards: Poor, Fair, Good, Great and
Excellent.
CBR (Constant Bitrate): CBR is used to achieve a specific bitrate by varying the quality of the stream. The bitrates available for selection depend on the image resolution.

Исправление ошибки «download failed. please try again after turn off uac and restart computer» на Windows10.
Решение в 3-х последних абзацах.
Дано. IP камеры подключенные к регистратору GeoVision GV-VS12. При входе на регистратор по IP, запрашивается логин и пароль, далее при первом входе с самого регистратора прилетает OCX, ставим ее в IE, и далее можно смотреть камеру вживую, и делать настройки.
Все это отлично работало когда была Windows 7. Политика поменялась, теперь должна стоять Windows 10.
Далее начались танцы с бубном!
Подключаемся к регистратору по IP, вводим логин и пароль, прилетает OCX, запрос на установку, но она не ставится, ошибка «download failed please try again after turn off uac and restart computer».
Хорошо. Заходим в компьютер под админом. Идем в учетные записи, отключаем UAC (с картинками можно посмотреть тут (http://fastvista.ru/content/view/17). Картинки для win8, в Win10 не отличается.
Перегружаем компьютер. проверяем UAC — отключен. Пробуем ставить OCX — ошибка та же.
Идем в настройки IE. Убираем настройки безопасности. Мне нужно поставить эту надстройку для работы камеры, потом верну все назад. Добавляем IP регистратора в доверенные сайты. Ошибка та же.
Рекомендации самого производителя тоже читал. (http://pd.geovision.tw/faq/ipdevice/ipdevice_installing_geovisionocx.pdf). Не работает.
Проблема в установке плагинов ActiveX при первом подключении к видеорегистратору или ip камере через браузер тоже читал (https://vcctv.ru/matchast/problema-v-ustanovke-elementovplaginov-active-x-pri-pervom-podklyuchenii-k-videoregistratoru-cherez-brauzer.html). Не работает.
Меням все настройки ActiveX в IE на самые опасные. С картинками можно посмотреть в рекомендации от производителя (http://pd.geovision.tw/faq/ipdevice/ipdevice_installing_geovisionocx.pdf), я ставил так:
Автоматические запросы элементов управления ActiveX — Включить.
Выполнять скрипты элемнтов ActiveX, помеченные как безопасные* — Включить.
Загрузка неподписанных элементов ActiveX — Включить.
Загрузка подписанных элементов ActiveX — Включить.
Запуск элементов ActiveX и модулей подключения — Включить.
Использование элементов управления ActiveX, не помеченных как безопасные для использования — Включить.
Поведение двоичного кодов и скриптов — Включить.
Показывать видео и анимацию на веб-странице, не использующий внешний медиапроигрыватель — Включить
Разрешать использовать ActiveX без запроса только утвержденным доменам — Отключить
Разрешить запуск элементов управления ActiveX, которые не использовались ранее, без предупреждения — Включить
Разрешить сценарии — Включить.
Если же часть настроек регулируется политиками безопасности Active Directory, то можно поменять временно параметры в самом реесте. Какие это параметры можно найти тут (https://getadmx.com/?Category=InternetExplorer&Policy=Microsoft.Policies.InternetExplorer::IZ_PolicyScriptActiveXNotMarkedSafe_8&Language=ru-ru). Очень толковый справочник!
Все параметры выставил, перезагрузился, на компьютер захожу под админом, IE запуск от администратора, еще раз проверил. Все настройки стоят. Ошибка та же.
Пробовал скачать OCX с самой камеры. Ссылку я скопировал с машины на Windows7. Но с самой камеры стянуть на удалось, пробвал с помощью примеров отсюда. (https://qna.habr.com/q/584553 и https://jsfiddle.net/wtsn6vxj/)
Добыл эту OCX на машине с Window7. Но он не ставится с помощью regsvr32, ошибка — нет точки входа.
Начал копать дальше. Проблема с регистрацией OCX в 64-bit системе.
(http://bbs.vbstreets.ru/viewtopic.php?p=6772520 и
https://www.cyberforum.ru/visual-basic/thread749898.html)
Также на машине с Windows7 нашел DLL-ки от этих камер с кодеками. Но они тоже не ставятся на Windows10.
Далее с коллегой пошли на сайт GeoVision, решили попробовать скачать программу GV-VMS, пусть более тяжелая, жрет процессор, память, лишь бы работала. (http://classic.geovision.com.tw/english/Prod_GVVMS.asp). Программа тяжелая, 800Мб
Потом залез на страницу регистратора GeoVision GV-VS12 на официальном сайте (http://classic.geovision.com.tw/english/Prod_GVVS12.asp). Я уже был на этом сайте, найти там что-то не получалось. Зашел на закладку Download. Выбирал видеосервер GV-VMS, что в общем то не совсем то.
Тут я вижу:
GV-IP Device Utility (Searches the IP address of GV IP devices within LAN, upgrades firmware, backs up and restores settings and etc.), оказалось 26Мб.
GV-Remote ViewLog (Retrieves and plays recordings from remote GV IP devices or VMS/DVR/NVR systems.) 108Мб. Программа нужна для просмотра архивных видео-записей.
Ставлю GV-IP Device Utility. Запускаю. Добавляю в программу IP регистратора, хочу посмотреть видео с камеры, в этот момент программа любезно просит меня поставить OCX компонент. Он ставится! Он другой! и сразу становится понятно, что сейчас и в IE все будет показываться. Так и произошло.
Проверил директорию с установленной программой, там лежат 3 файла — инсталлятор этого OCX. После этого на 2 компьютере установка заняла 2 минуты.
Вдруг кому пригодится. Cайт у GeoVision замудренный.
