Milestone XProtect ® Express 1.1Administrator's Manual1. In the Management Application's navigation pane, expand Advanced Configuration, and expandCameras and Storage Information.2. Select the required camera to view live video from that camera. Above the live video, you will find asummary of the most important properties for the selected camera. Below the live video, you will findinformation about the camera's resolution and average image file size. For cameras using MPEG orH.264, you will also see the bit rate in Mbit/second.IMPORTANT: Viewing of live video in the Management Application may under certain circumstancesaffect any simultaneous recording from the camera in question. Especially three scenarios are importantto consider:1) Some cameras supporting multistreaming may halve their frame rate or respond with other negativeeffects when a second stream is opened.2) If a camera delivers live video in a very high quality, de-coding of images may increase the load on theRecording Server service, which may in turn affect ongoing recordings negatively.3) Cameras that do not support multiple simultaneous video streams cannot connect to the surveillanceserver and the Management Application at the same time. Therefore, we recommended stopping (see"Start and stop services" on page 144) the Recording Server service when configuring such devices formotion detection and PTZ.
