Frequently Asked Question
DeskCamera can stream a PC screen at up to 60 FPS on supported computers. Use 60 FPS when the screen contains fast motion and the NVR/VMS needs a smoother recording.
60 FPS uses more CPU, GPU, and network bandwidth than lower FPS settings.
Before you start
- Use a PC with a GPU that supports hardware-accelerated encoding.
- Make sure the NVR/VMS can record the selected resolution and FPS.
Configure 60 FPS
If the camera is running, click Stop.
Open Video & Audio Settings.
Select the screen.
Click the settings button next to Encoder.
In Configure Encoder, select MainStream.
Set FPS to 60. If you cannot set 60, the source or the Encoder does not support 60 FPS.
Above 30 FPS, the FPS number turns red. This reminds you to test the stream. It is not an error.
Changes apply immediately. Click Close.
Click Start.
Test the stream in the NVR/VMS.
If it does not work
The stream is choppy or delayed
Try 30 FPS first. If 30 FPS is stable, increase the FPS gradually and test again. You can also lower the resolution or bitrate. For more video quality settings, see Adjust Video Quality Settings (Resolution, FPS, and Bitrate).
The PC becomes slow while streaming
Lower the resolution, FPS, or bitrate. Also close other GPU-heavy applications when possible.
The NVR/VMS cannot record 60 FPS
Check the NVR/VMS camera profile, recording settings, and license limits. If needed, use 30 FPS or a lower resolution.
