Core Inputs (required)
Typical: 15-25 fps for surveillance
H.265/H.265+ recommended if supported
More detail = higher bandwidth
Main factor in bandwidth use
Lower = more bandwidth, better seeking
VBR recommended for most cases
If CBR selected, we’ll use this directly.

Model: VBR estimate uses bits-per-pixel: bitrate ≈ bpp × W × H × fps × motion × complexity × keyframe_factor.
Base bpp: H.264≈0.07, H.265≈0.045, H.265+≈0.03 (medium scenes). This is advisory only; verify with actual encoder stats.
