Live View Settings / Mobile Settings
To configure the video source and stream profile for live-view and mobile streaming:
- Select either of the following options from the Video source drop-down list:
- From Surveillance Station: Select this option if you are unable to watch Live View via the Internet when using the camera as the video source. Selecting this option consumes more server resources and may add time delay to Live View.
- From Camera: Select this option to avoid using additional server resources and minimize time delay of Live View. However, you must set port forwarding for the camera to watch Live View via the Internet. However, selecting this option will increase the number of camera streaming connections. Watching live-view channels from multiple devices may cause disconnection or black screen resulted from insufficient capability of your camera.
Note: The video source for Mobile is configurable for iOS devices only. For Android devices, the video source is always Surveillance Station.
- Select a stream profile from the Stream setting drop-down list.
- Click Save to apply the settings.
