### Camera Settings Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using go2rtc, you should adjust the following settings in your camera's firmware for the best experience with Live view:
|
||||
|
||||
- Video codec: H.264 - provides the most compatible video codec with all Live view technologies and browsers.
|
||||
- Audio codec: AAC - provides the most compatible audio codec with all Live view technologies and browsers.
|
||||
- I-frame interval (sometimes called the keyframe interval, the interframe space, or the GOP length): match your camera's frame rate, or choose "1x" (for interframe space on Reolink cameras). For example, if your stream outputs 20fps, your i-frame interval should be 20 (or 1x on Reolink). Values higher than the frame rate will cause the stream to take longer to begin playback. See [this page](https://gardinal.net/understanding-the-keyframe-interval/) for more on keyframes.
|
||||
|
||||
The default video and audio codec on your camera may not always be compatible with your browser, which is why setting them to H.264 and AAC is recommended. See the [go2rtc docs](https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc?tab=readme-ov-file#codecs-madness) for codec support information.
|
||||
|
||||
### Audio Support
|
||||
|
||||
MSE Requires AAC audio, WebRTC requires PCMU/PCMA, or opus audio. If you want to support both MSE and WebRTC then your restream config needs to make sure both are enabled.

If your camera does not have audio and you are having problems with Live view, you should have go2rtc send video only:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|

go2rtc:
|
||||
streams:

no_audio_camera:
|
||||
- ffmpeg:rtsp://192.168.1.5:554/live0#video=copy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Setting Stream For Live UI
|
||||
|
||||
There may be some cameras that you would prefer to use the sub stream for live view, but the main stream for recording. This can be done via `live -> stream_name`.
