Record: Substream (5MP Camera)
The functions available allow you to control how video is streamed to your mobile device and computer using the HomeSafe View app and software. You can also click
“Stream switch” to change to Substream in Live View mode. You can change the resolution, frame rate, bitrate control and bitrate if you’re having issues streaming live video from your NVR.
· Don’t forget to click “Save” to apply settings.
· Use the “Copy” function to apply all settings to the other cameras.
· Click the “Close” button to exit the Main Menu.
Channel: Select a camera that you would like to edit.
Resolution: The default resolution is 640 x 480. You can select a lower resolution if you’re having issues streaming to your mobile device via the HomeSafe
View app (especially when viewing multiple cameras).
FPS: The number of frames per second (fps) that your NVR will process when streaming to your mobile device and computer via HomeSafe View. For most instances, the default frame rate (15fps) will be suitable. This is especially the case for cameras that monitor medium to high traffic areas and will result in smoother motion, but just be aware this will increase the bandwidth required. You can lower this if monitoring low traffic areas.
Video Encode Type: Your NVR utilizes two encoding methods to record video.
The default method of compression is H.264. This is a commonly used format for recording and compressing video and is used in Blu-ray players and to broadcast TV signals. The second method of compression is H.265. This will result in less hard drive space used when recording (before older videos are automatically overwritten) and will consume less bandwidth when using the remote playback feature in the HomeSafe View app. If this is of importance, change this to H.265, otherwise leave the default selection.
Bitrate Control: Change this to VBR. This will result in a lower recording size as well as a lower bandwidth requirement. You can select the recording quality that will define the variable bitrate used, from lowest to highest.
Bitrate Mode: You have the choice of selecting a predefined or user-defined bitrate. For most instances, the default selection will be suitable.

Bitrate: The amount of data that your NVR will use to stream video to your mobile device. For cameras that monitor medium to high traffic areas, increase the bitrate to add more detail to the camera’s image, but just be aware this will increase the bandwidth required. Increase the bitrate in small doses until you are satisfied with the image quality.
Audio: By default, your NVR will record audio using the camera’s built-in microphone. If this is not required, click the checkbox to disable.
Please note: When streaming live video, the overall quality is dependent on your internet connection and the Substream settings utilised. This is important to note when streaming multiple cameras at the same time.
