How to use CamStreamer App 1.6.0

Updated

Stream configuration

Set up your stream using the simple user interface and the parameters below.
Note: Video quality is taken directly from the camera. If you want to change it, please adjust the video settings in the camera itself.

If the camera does not have a 'camstreamer' user, create one with viewer permissions and use its password in the settings.
