The new integrated live view streaming feature now allows you to view the current display on the DVR server. This is similar to JPEG streaming option except that it is now in MPEG4 format which is significantly smaller in size than the JPEG streaming. Now, when using this feature, you can view all cameras real time using constant bandwidth and without having to sacrifice the quality of the recording. This feature surely saves a lot of bandwidth on your video streaming. Explore the new feature of Neugent's Remote Client!
