With all my Dahuas, ROI sits in the same menu as the stream bitrates, just on a different tab. I don't know if it improves the image quality of the selected region but it sure degrades the rest.
Reading through your responses and looking at your clip, if this is an artifact, I don't see the origin. You say you can zoom in and out and it stays. I would personally be surprised if throwing bandwidth at this will change the game, but it is relatively easy to try from below.
