Record: Substream
Channel: Select a camera that you would like to edit.
Resolution: The default resolution is 432 x 320. 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 DVR 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.
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.
Bitrate Mode: You have the choice of selecting a predefined or user-defined
bitrate. For most instances, the default selection will be suitable.
Bitrate: The amount of data that your DVR will use to stream video to your
mobile device. For cameras that monitor medium to high traffic areas, in-
crease the bitrate to add more detail to the camera’s image, but just be aware
this will increase the bandwidth required. Increase the bitrate in small doses
until you are satisfied with the image quality.
Audio: Click the checkbox if you have an audio source connected to the DVR’s
audio input(s) (for 8 channel models, this option is on camera input 1 only).
Please note: When streaming live video, the quality is dependent on
your internet connection and the Substream settings utilised. This is
important when streaming multiple cameras at the same time.
