Smooth Streaming 
Purpose: 
This function is used to view the live view smoothly via the client software or Web Browser when 
the network is unstable or high quality of video is required. 
Notes: 
Supported services vary according to camera models. 
Before you start: 
Add the device to your client software and enable the NPQ protocol for live view via the client. 
Steps: 
6.  Enter the Smooth Streaming interface: 
Configuration > Network > Advanced Settings > Smooth Streaming 
7.  Select the Stream Type. 
8.  Check Enable Smooth Streaming. 
9.  Select the mode of smooth streaming. There are three modes selectable: Auto, Resolution 
Priority, and Error Correction. 
  Auto:  The  resolution  and  bitrate  will  be  adjusted  automatically,  the  upper  limits  of 
which  will  not  exceed  the  values  you  set  on  Video  page.  Go  to  Configuration  > 
Video/Audio  >  Video  page,  set  the  Resolution  and  Max.  Bitrate  before  you  enable 
smooth streaming function. 
  Resolution Priority: The resolution stays the same as the set value in Video page, and 
the bitrate will be adjusted automatically. Go to Configuration > Video/Audio > Video 
page, set the Max. Bitrate before you enable smooth streaming function. 
  Error Correction:  The  resolution  and  bitrate  stay the same  as the set values  in Video 
page.  This  mode  is  used  to  correct  the  data  error  during  transmission.  You  can 
configure the error correction proportion within range of 0-100. When the proportion 
is 0, the  data error will  be  corrected by data retransmission.  When  the proportion is 
higher than 0, the error data will be recovered via redundant data that is added to the 
stream.  The higher the value is,  the more  redundant  date will be generated,  and  the 
larger bandwidth is required. When the proportion is 100, the redundant data will be as 
large as the original data. 
Note: Be sure the bandwidth is sufficient in Error Correction mode.
