General settings
In the General settings, view and edit the following settings:
Setting: Description:
Client version (iOS) / About
(Android, Windows
® Phone)
Shows the version number of the Milestone Mobile client installed
on your device.
Stay awake
When selected, sleep mode is disabled during video streaming
(both in live and recording mode).
Frames per second
Set a frame per seconds (FPS) value (1-30) for transfer of video
from the Mobile server to your device. Note that your setting might
conflict with/be overruled by the FPS setting in your system setup.
Optimize bandwidth (Android,
Windows® Phone) /
Bandwidth optimized (iOS)
(selected by default)
When selected, the Mobile server reduces the quality of the images
sent to the Milestone Mobile if the bandwidth used to connect to the
Mobile server is slow. The bandwidth is increased when a better
connection is available. Use this to manage the resources without
interrupting the video streaming.
Use lower resolution
Enable to allow for higher frame rates.
This is user-initiated downsampling. Increasing screen resolutions
on small mobile devices lead to higher probability that streams from
megapixel cameras are sent at full pixel size to Mobile clients. To
counter this, this setting is created, so the user can force the client
to request downsampled images. Either instead of waiting for the
Quality of Service algorithm to downscale, or to make sure frame
rate remains high.
Auto-hide playback controls
When selected, the controls in the playback Navigation bar will, if
unused, automatically disappear after a short while. Tap the screen
to reactivate them. When cleared, controls will stay on screen while
in playback.
Auto-hide PTZ controls
When selected, the navigation controls available in PTZ will, if
unused, automatically disappear after a short while. Tap the screen
to reactivate them. When cleared, controls will stay on screen while
in PTZ.
Lock orientation (iOS only)
When selected, the current screen orientation is maintained once
connected to a server.
Miscellaneous (Android only)
Change the language of Milestone Mobile client.
To change the language on an iOS device, go to your device's
settings and change the overall language of the device.
Hide demo server
Hide the demo server from the server list. Note that the setting
takes effect only if there is at least one other server defined, for
example if the demo server is all you have in the servers list, it will
show up, regardless of this setting.
Use front facing camera
Use your device's front facing camera to record video for your
Video Push stream.
