Make Sure The Wisenet SKY Bridge/CMVR is Receiving the Recommended Bandwidth

Please see our knowledge base article Bandwidth Usage and Recommendations.

 

Tips for reducing the amount of Bandwidth the Wisenet SKY Bridge/CMVR is using:

1.  Adjust the motion settings in your cameras.

Most cameras are set to event record by default.  The more often that cameras record, the more bandwidth they will need to upload footage to the cloud.  Make sure the cameras' motion sensitivity is set at the correct level.  By default, each camera is set to a sensitivity of 80% although every camera may need to be adjusted to fit the scene that the camera films.  Finding a sensitivity level that records meaningful events (ex. A person walking) and isn't triggered by unmeaningful events (ex. the flicker of a shadow) can save you bandwidth.

1.  Create Motion Regions around objects that trigger constant recording. 

It is a good idea to create motion regions set to 0% sensitivity around objects that may trigger constant recording, for example, a tree in the wind or a television set.
