Getting the hang of it
Hello again everyone, I have been experimenting with the "Rate Control" on the Blue Iris Webserver to try and find the optimal settings for bandwidth and resulting picture quality. By default, Blue Iris has "Limit bitrate" selected with a 512kbps max bitrate setup. The issue that I have, is that the picture quality is very poor when viewing cameras remotely. I've changed the settings to be more like 2000kbps and the picture looks much better. But has any one experimented with this and found settings that they like? I guess it's a bit subjective, but just curious to hear.
My second question is a bit more basic (I think I know this one, but need confirmation).
Regardless of what bitrate settings you have, Blue Iris is only "Streaming" the bits, when someone is logged in correct? So, if you set a high bitrate limit, it's only streaming those bits when someone is viewing the system? I assume it's "idle" otherwise and not chewing up bandwidth when no-one is watching?
Any help or input would be greatly appreciated!
