# Audio & Video Codec Configuration for SIP Calls

## Audio Codec Configuration

The indoor monitor supports eight types of codecs for encoding and decoding the audio data during the call session. Each type of codec varies in terms of sound quality. Higher bandwidth means the device can capture more detail, leading to clearer sound and higher sample rates capture more data, reducing distortion and preserving sound quality.

You can select the specific codec with different bandwidths and sample rates flexibly according to the actual network environment.

To set it up, go to the web **Account > Advanced** interface.

Please refer to the bandwidth consumption and sample rate for the codec types below:

| Codec Type | Bandwidth Consumption | Sample Rate |
| --- | --- | --- |
| PCMA | 64 kbit/s | 8kHZ |
| PCMU | 64 kbit/s | 8kHZ |
| G729 | 8 kbit/s | 8kHZ |
| G722 | 64 kbit/s | 16kHZ |
| iLBC_13_3 | 8,16 kbit/s | 13.3kHZ |
| iLBC_15_2 | 8,16 kbit/s | 15.2kHZ |
| L16 | 128 kbit/s | variable |
| OPUS | 154.4 kbit/s | 48kHZ |

## Video Codec Configuration

The device supports VP8, H263, and H264 codecs.

To set it up, go to the web **Account > Advanced > Video Codecs** interface. Choose an available video codec and set up the codec parameters.

- **Resolution**: The code resolution for the video quality has five options: QCIF, CIF, VGA, 4CIF, and 720P. H263 only has **QCIF, CIF,** and **4CIF**. Select the resolution according to the network environment.
- **Bitrate**: Select the video stream bitrate. The default value varies by the resolution.
- **Payload**: The payload ranges from 90-119 for the audio/video configuration file.
