Description
1.
Stream Type
Specifies the streaming method used.
Options include: Main Stream (Normal), Substream, and Third Stream.
Use main stream for live viewing and recording with high resolutions and
bandwidth. Use substream when there is a bandwidth limitation, such as
when using a mobile app. The third stream can be used for local live
viewing or as a backup to the other streams.
2.
Stream Content
Specifies the stream type you wish to record.
Select Video Stream to record video stream only. Select Video&Audio to
record both video and audio streams.
Note
: Video&Audio is only available for those camera models that support
audio.
3.
Resolution
Specifies the recording resolution. A higher image resolution provides a
higher image quality but also requires a higher bit rate. The resolution
options listed depend on the type of camera and on whether main or sub
stream is being used.
Note
: Resolutions can vary depending on the camera model.
4.
Bitrate Control
Specifies whether variable or fixed bit rate is used. Variable produces
higher quality results suitable for video downloads and streaming. Default
is Constant.
5.
Video Quality

is selected. Options include: Lowest, Lower, Medium, Higher, and
Highest.
