XProtect Mobile server

Direct streaming

Last Updated: 1 minute read

You can also use the direct streaming feature to transfer video from cameras that support the H.265 codec directly to the XProtect Mobile client.

In Management Client, you can enable or disable direct streaming for clients (see Mobile server settings).

The video stream falls back from direct streaming to transcoding if:

  • The direct streaming feature has been disabled in Management Client, or the requirements have not been fulfilled (see Requirements for direct streaming)

  • The codec of the streaming camera is different than H.264 (for all clients) or H.265 (for the XProtect Mobile client only)

  • The video cannot start playing for more than ten seconds

  • The frame rate of the streaming camera is set to one frame per second (1 FPS)

  • The connection with the server or with the camera has been lost

  • You use the privacy masking feature during live video
