Record: Substream
Each camera input on your DVR will be displayed as CH1, CH2, etc.
Resolution: The default resolution is 352 x 288 and cannot be changed.
FPS: The number of frames per second (fps) that your DVR will process when
streaming to your mobile device via the Swann Security app. For most instanc-
es, 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).
When streaming live video, the quality is dependent on your internet
connection and the Substream settings utilised. This is important to
remember when streaming multiple cameras at the same time.
The functions available here allow you to con-
trol how video is streamed to your mobile de-
vice using the Swann Security app. You can
change the frame rate, bitrate mode and bi-
trate control if you’re having issues streaming
live video from your DVR.
→ Use the “Copy” function to apply all set-
tings to the other cameras connected.
→ Click “Default” to revert to default settings.
→ Click “Apply” to save settings.
