Configure or optimize the video quality of your Live View.
Channel: Select the channel you would like to configure.
Resolution: Choose your desired resolution for the selected channel, by default this is set to 352 x 240.
FPS: Increase or decrease the frames per second of the streaming video depending on your connection
speed. A higher FPS will result in more data transfer but smoother video. A lower FPS will eliminate most
lag but at the expense of video quality.
Video Encode Type: Allows you to switch between H.264 and a more advanced encoding H.265 that allows
a better use of the NVR resources in data transmission.
Bitrate Control: Allows you to switch between CBR (Constant Bit Rate) and VBR (Variable Bit Rate). VBR
saves more bandwidth that CBR because it adapts the Bandwidth used to meet the NVR needs up to a limit.
Bitrate Mode: Allows you to select predefined or user defined modes. The predefined mode will provide a
dropdown list of standard bitrate options. The user defined mode will allow you to input your desired bitrate
option.
Bitrate: Adjust the amount of data transferred while streaming. The default setting is sufficient for most
networks.
