https://youtu.be/nsNHjGzKXF8

Visit https://www.CameraFTP.com, sign up for a free trial and then log in, click Add Camera to add a camera. You can then click the Settings icon below the camera thumbnail to find the FTP account info which you will need later.

(1) Image Resolution. Click Video/Audio, then click Video. Select a resolution for the Main Video Stream. It will be the recorded image resolution. Click Save to save it. If you use CameraFTP service, then the image resolution should not exceed the service plan's image resolution.
