Record: Mobilestream
Channel:
Select a camera that you would like to edit.
Enable:
It’s strongly recommended leaving this option enabled as there is no
benefit if it is disabled (if disabled, Substream will be used to stream video).
Resolution:
The default resolution is 640 x 480. You can select a lower resolu-
tion if you’re having issues streaming to your mobile device via the HomeSafe
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 via the HomeSafe View app. For most
instances, the default frame rate will be suitable. Change this to 10fps or
15fps for cameras that monitor medium to high traffic areas. This results in
smoother motion, but just be aware this will increase the bandwidth required.
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.
