I get a poor live stream video quality when I stream using RTPS.

Moving objects become distorted, which is a sign of a low bit rate.

No issues viewing live stream through Tapo app but I can't constantly use an app for streaming. I need to see live stream when I'm not at home. Also wanted to store everything on a hard drive instead of SD card but if the video quality is so poor over LAN I can't use a hard drive to store everything, which sucks.

Is there any solution to this? Can you increase bit rate for live stream for RTPS?

 

Wanted to attach video samples but the size is limited to 10MB here, so I can only attach screenshots.

Here's an additional screenshot for comparison of the same event recorded on sd card. Look at the difference.  @Wayne_us
