If you plan to stream with NearStream VM33, we have some tips to help you get started:
- Your network's upload speed should ideally be at around 5-10mbps. This will allow your stream to stay at the best quality and leave room for fluctuation in your connection speed.
- Use a dedicated network if possible. This isn't always possible, considering most Wi-Fi networks are shared among multiple devices. Try to remove as many devices from your network as possible, such as smartphones and computers.
- Turn off any Firewalls on your network. Most home networks will probably not need to worry about this, but this is a common issue in offices, schools, hotels, etc.
- Always test first! Test early and test often. Run speed tests on your network so that you can catch any issues with your network connection before your event.
- Record a backup. The professionals do it, and we recommend everyone does. Make sure you keep a TF card inside your VM33 so that a backup recording saves while you are streaming. If you lose connection, the recording will save on the TF card that you can share later.
