Reolink C2 User Manual

➢ Stream Type: choose the stream type you want to edit.
● Clear(Main-Stream): the video feed that the Camera will record and display.
This is the higher-quality stream.
● Fluent(Sub-Stream): the video stream that the Camera will send to remote
devices via a network or the Internet. It is the lower-quality stream as a
reduction in video size makes it easier to send over a network.
➢ Record Audio: Check to enable recording with audio, otherwise, there will be no
audio for the recorded file.
➢ Resolution: Choose the resolution for the selected stream type.
➢ Frame Rate(fps): Choose the Frame Type for the selected stream type.
➢ Maximum Bitrate(kbps): Choose the bitrate for the selected stream type. The
higher the bitrate is, the better quality the recording will be, and the more space
each recording will take up on the hard disk.
➢ H.264 Profile: set the H.264 profile to be Baseline, Main or High.
Note:
● Both the main-stream and the sub-stream are always operating - in fact, the
sub-stream forms part of the main-stream. The options will affect the output quality
of each stream, but won’t change which one is being used in different
circumstances.
● To enable audio in live view or recording, make sure Record Audio is checked.
