How to Set Recording Quality ( From High Quality to Low Quality )
Note: This setting does not apply to external codecs and only applies to oCam's built-in codecs. Lowering the recording quality will reduce the size of the recorded video file, but the video quality will also decrease.
There is a menu at the top of oCam. Click Tools - Options, then click Encoding on the left, and you can select the quality as shown below. By default, it is set to Very High (high quality).
You can choose from the following quality levels when recording.
Below are captured preview images showing the recorded quality from Very High to Very Low.
Recorded at Very High
Recorded at High
Recorded at Medium
