Overview
Rhombus offers two live streaming modes to balance video quality, latency, and system performance. "Live Realtime" provides the lowest possible latency for monitoring live events, while "Live Buffered" prioritizes maximum video quality and smoother playback with a short delay. This article explains the differences between each streaming mode and how to switch between them in the Rhombus Web Console.
Note: Live streaming options do not affect recorded footage on a camera.
Live Realtime
Live Realtime streaming displays footage with the lowest possible latency. Compared to Live Buffered, it uses more CPU resources and may reduce the displayed video resolution to maintain real-time performance.
Note: Live Realtime is selected by default.
Live Buffered
Live Buffered streaming will display footage with a 5-8 second delay at max resolution and will ensure fewer frame drops resulting in smoother video playback. Live Buffered streaming will require less CPU power than Live Realtime streaming.
Selecting Live Realtime or Live Buffered Streaming
| 1. Navigate to the "Devices" tab and select a camera. |

| 2. Below the camera viewer, click the "Live" dropdown menu, then select the desired Live streaming type. |
