Introduction
To get smoother and better live images on GV-Eye, it is recommended to have the following Stream 2 (live view) settings on the GV-IP devices.

If the GV-IP device is also connected to the GV-DVR / NVR, the stream settings set on the GV-DVR / NVR will override those set on the Web interface of the device. Therefore, you need to make the above settings on the GV-DVR / NVR instead.

Instructions

1. Change Stream 2 settings on the Web interface of the GV-IP device

1. Log in the Web interface of the GV-IP device.
2. Select Streaming 2 from the left menu.
3. Select MJPEG from the Video Format drop-down list, and set Resolution to 640 x 480, 640 x 512 or 640 x 360.
