cameras.
Web browser live view
The recorder web browser lets you view, record, and play back videos as well as manage all
aspects of the recorder from any PC with Internet access. The browser’s easy-to-use controls
give you live view to all the recorder functions. See Figure 5 on page 19.
You can watch up to 16 cameras in live view simultaneously.
Note: You must run Microsoft Internet Explorer as administrator.
The recorder has three different stream types. You can select the best stream type to type your
needs.
Table 2: Stream types
Stream type Description
Main stream Use main stream for live viewing and recording with high resolutions and
bandwidth. It delivers high resolution video for local HDD recording and
storage.
Substream Use substream when there is a bandwidth limitation in realtime
streaming. It delivers a low or standard resolution video for remote
viewing, such as when using a smartphone application.
Transcoded stream Use transcoded stream for remote live viewing and playback when there
is a bandwidth limitation over the web client. You can reduce the
resolution, bitrate, and frame rate of the original stream so that it better
suits a low bandwidth.
The recorder transcodes the original stream before sending it over the
web. In Auto Mode, if the original stream is 1080p or higher, the
resolution of the transcoded stream will be 1080p. If original stream is
less than 1080p, the resolution of the transcoded stream will not change.
