Ethernet RTSP Video Stream

Ethernet Stream 

• The quality of the stream can be changed via Presets

  • Low - defaults to 720x480 resolution @ 1Mbps

  • Medium defaults to 1280x720 resolution @ 5Mbps

  • High defaults to 1920x1080 resolution @ 10Mbps

• You can also use the Resolution dropdown field to select 640x480 | 720x480 | 1280x1080 | 1920x1080 | 3840x2160

• You can also adjust Bitrate using the slide button to adapt to your network bandwidth.

• Click the “Set Stream Quality” button to apply. The video feed will drop momentarily and reconnect with the selected setting.

If you select Resolution 640x480 and then notice the video appears somewhat squeezed - Click away from the Menu, click the break link button in the top, right to to “Disconnect from Camera” and then Reconnect to the Camera again. This will resolve the video quality while still retaining the 640x480 Resolution.

• Multi-Stream - 2x max simultaneous connections are supported

If multiple streams are being used from a Rayfin Camera, it will affect performance.  Example: The higher the Resolution and/or Bitrate will potentially cause higher latency.

• If streaming with a long cable (>=325m), and Rayfin BPC, it is recommended to set the Quality to Low or Medium

Viewing the Ethernet Stream in Other Software

The RTSP stream can be viewed by opening the RTSP feed from SubC DVR+O, VLC or other RTSP viewing software. In VLC media player follow these steps:

Resolutions, Bitrate and Latency

Higher bitrates can result in higher latency depending on you PC and network specifications.

All resolutions are at 30 frames per second
