Record: Substream
The functions available al-
low you to control how video
is streamed to your mobile
device and computer using
the HomeSafe View app and
software. You can also click
"Stream switch" to change
to Substream in Live View
mode. You can change the
resolution, frame rate, bi-
trate control and bitrate if
you're having issues stream-
ing live video from your NVR.
Channel:
Select a camera that you would like to edit.
Resolution:
The default resolution is 1280 x 720. You can select a lower res-
olution if you're having issues streaming to your mobile device via the Home-
Safe View app (especially when viewing multiple cameras).
FPS:
The number of frames per second (fps) that your NVR will process when
streaming to your mobile device and computer via HomeSafe View. For most
instances, the default frame rate (15fps) will be suitable. This is especially
the case for cameras that monitor medium to high traffic areas and will re-
sult in smoother motion, but just be aware this will increase the bandwidth
required. You can lower this if monitoring low traffic areas.
Video Encode Type:
Your NVR utilizes two encoding methods to record vid-
eo. The default method of compression is H.265. This will result in less hard

drive space used when recording (before older videos are automatically over-
written) and will consume less bandwidth when using the remote playback
feature in the HomeSafe View app. The second method of compression is
H.264. This is a commonly used format for recording and compressing video
and is used in Blu-ray players and to broadcast TV signals. If visual quality is
of importance, change this to H.264, otherwise leave the default selection.
Bitrate Control:
Change this to VBR. This will result in a lower recording size
as well as a lower bandwidth requirement. You can select the recording qual-
ity that will define the variable bitrate used, from lowest to highest.
Bitrate Mode:
You have the choice of selecting a predefined or user-defined
bitrate. For most instances, the default selection will be suitable.
