When viewing a live feed, you can manage the video quality in a couple of ways:
Toggle the video quality:
Standard Quality (SQ) provides a shorter delay and uses less bandwidth.
High Quality (HQ) has better image quality, but uses more bandwidth and has a greater delay than SQ.
Select the default video quality for all cameras in your organization.
Select a camera's live video quality
In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Cameras > select the camera you want to view.
In the bottom left of the live stream, select Video Quality and select/switch between SQ and HQ, as needed.
Set the default live stream
In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Cameras.
Select a camera site.
Click Settings.
Select Default Cloud Live Stream Quality and choose SQ or HQ.
Compare the live feed bitrate
