Reduce the bandwidth video stream

[ghost]

Hi,is it possibile to reduce the bandwidth video stream? This because I have NAS outside home and the streaming saturates my upload bandwidth. Thanks

Take a look at this blog post. It describes how to adjust the resolution of the camera but you can just change the -b value to adjust the bitrate of the RTSP stream.

It would be nice have different streams like the Xiaomi Ant that have three different outputs: rtsp://192.168.1.11:554/ch0_0.h264 (Video HD) rtsp://192.168.1.11:554/ch0_1.h264 (Video SD) rtsp://192.168.1.11:554/ch0_2.h264 (audio only)

Hello,

First of all, try 720p instead of 1080p:

snx_rtsp_server -W 1280 -H 720 -Q 10 -b 2048 -a >$LOG 2>&1 &

-Q - quality (leave 10), -b - bitrate (try without -b - camera will adjust bitrate to picture details - VBR I think). If there are a lot of details or moving objects in picture bitrate will raise. Static picture is about 100-200Kbps. -a (audio) - if You don't need audio, don't use this option.

Try to run this in ssh shell (and connect to rtsp unicast): snx_rtsp_server -W 1280 -H 720 -Q 10 -b 2048 -a

You will see current bitrate, then, kill the snx_rtpd_server, wait about 20-30 seconds and run: snx_rtsp_server -W 1280 -H 720 -Q 10

connect to rtsp port and look at ssh terminal for bitrate info.

@Pierinopower Hi, how does the faculty access SynologyNAS?

Hi, is there a way to make the snx_rtpd_server to run in 720p (snx_rtsp_server -W 1280 -H 720 -Q 10) vy default ? I don't know what to edit and how to edit it :/ (ssh, ftp) Thanks for your answer

nykoo: You have to edit the file (one line):

/media/mmcblk0p2/data/etc/scripts/20-rtsp-server

ssh to camera, open file via vi editor and edit the line or ftp - download file to local computer, edit it, upload and replace original ( after uploading by ftp You have to login by ssh and "chmod a+x 20-rtsp-server" )

@mayekk Thank you very much works like a charm :)
