Displaying video via low bandwidth

You can play back the recordings of a camera or view live images of a camera with
Operator Client even if you have a low bandwidth network connection between Bosch VMS
and your Operator Client computer. For using low bandwidth networks, the VRM must be
equipped with at least one transcoding device. This transcoding device is not configured in
Bosch VMS. See the VRM documentation on how to configure a transcoding device.
Each transcoding device allows for transcoding 1 stream. For each additional stream you need
another transcoding device.
