10.1.2 Record - Encode - Substream
You can configure the substream quality for each camera in the Encode - Substream
sub-menu.
The substream allows you to create a lower quality stream for each camera which
can then be used when viewing the recorder remotely in the PC client software or the
mobile app. As remote viewing is done via the internet the quality of the video relies
on your internet speed. Trying to view multiple HD cameras from the mainstream on
slower broadband or mobile internet connections can result in stuttering, jerky
images. To combat this the lower quality, less demanding substream could be used
for smooth video monitoring.
The recorder will always record the higher quality mainstream so you will always have
high quality footage if needed. However the substream is also recorded by default
and can be selected during playback to overcome performance issues when viewing
remotely if required. If substream recording is not needed it can be turned off to save
on disk space as described in the
Record sub-menu section.
The settings available will differ depending on recorder, camera type and camera
model.
