Hi All,
I have a question I have been meaning to post for some time.
I have a few Hikvision POE cameras linked up to my i Series NVR (V4.40.016 build20200803). Unfortunately I don’t have access to fibre so my NVR is connected to the internet via ADSL , just means I have poor upload speeds (approx. 1Mbps upload). This obviously causes me some issues when playing back video remotely (4g connection) on my iphone using Hik-Connect app.
Interestingly, I can watch live footage without problems as I can drop the quality to ‘Basic’ in the app. However, when playing back events (or video from timeline) from the app , I don’t have the option to change the video quality within the app.
My Question:
Is there anything that I can try that will help me drop the quality of playback within the app to help me have smooth playback like in live view (whilst still recording at normal resolution within the NVR)?
I have never managed to understand how the NVR does all this quality change.. e.g does it record one master high quality and converts this on the fly to lower quality when needed or does it actually record multiple streams in different resolutions…?
As always any advice / line of enquiries would be great.
Thanks Dan
