Adaptive Streaming

To optimize the Smart Client performance and reduce the AWS data egress costs, Milestone recommends the Adaptive Streaming feature available in XProtect Corporate and XProtect Expert. Adaptive Streaming enables Smart Client to automatically select the live video stream with the most optimal resolution. This reduces the amount of data transferred to and handled by Smart Client. See also Enabling adaptive streaming in the user manual for XProtect Smart Client.

The performance of Smart Clientis improved when using Adaptive Streaming. For more information, see the XProtect on AWS White Paper.
