of connection are:

• Live streaming audio is not available
• Remote recording is not available
• Zoom while in full screen mode is not available
• Image enhancements functionality is not available
*note : JPEG streaming is only available on some models

lows what is set on the server just as long as the bandwidth can accommodate it. Once connected, the
number of frames received, frames displayed and the size of data received per second are displayed
for the user.
