Stream
The default Stream supports four modes:
0/720P/30fps/2M, 1/VGA/25fps/4M, 2/VGA/15fps/1M and 3/VGA/10fps/200K
The format of the stream type is Stream type no. / Resolution / Maximum frame rate/ Bit rate
1) Stream type no. : The number is used to identify the stream type.
2) 720P/ VGA
There are two resolutions, the bigger one is 720P, and the smaller one (VGA) is 640x480 pixels. The bigger the
resolution, the better of the image quality is. If you are accessing the camera via internet and want to get more
fluent video streaming, please select resolution VGA.
3) Maximum frame rate
When the video format is 50Hz, the maximum frame rate is 25 fps. When the video format is 60Hz, the
maximum frame rate is 30 fps. You should lower frame rate when the bandwidth is limited. Normally, when the
frame rate above 15, you can achieve fluently video.
4) Bit rate
Generally speaking, the larger the bit rate is, the clearer video will become. But the bit rate configuration should
combine well with the network bandwidth. When the bandwidth is very narrow, and bit rate is large, that will
lead to video cannot play well.
You can reset the stream type on Settings-> Video-> Settings panel( chapter 4.4.1).
