QVR Client Web development preview and feedback collection

In the past, QVR Client supported Windows and macOS desktop versions, as well as iOS and Android mobile versions. For computer environments where software installation is not possible, or for Linux and ChromeOS systems, users faced limitations in accessing video. The development team now has an initial web-based solution.

QVR Client Web Version Status
Users can log in by entering the URL in their browser to view camera feeds, eliminating the need for software installation. The currently available features include:

  • Live video viewing
  • Playback of recordings
  • Switching and management of views, cameras, and e-maps
  • Timeline operations

The interface layout is similar to the desktop QVR Pro Client, reducing the learning curve for users.

Feedback Collection
The web version is still under development, and community feedback will determine the priorities for future development. Please share with us:

  • Which features from QVR Pro Client would you like to see retained in the web version?
  • What are your expected usage scenarios for the web version? (For example: checking on a hotel computer during a business trip, office environments with software installation restrictions, etc.)
  • What are your performance requirements? How many video streams do you usually open at the same time? Do you need 4K resolution or do you prioritize smooth playback?
  • Any other development suggestions for QVR Client.

Does the web version support playing special codecs like H.265? Some browsers can’t directly decode streams like H.265. Will QVR Client Web use the NAS’s processing power for transcoding to ensure playback? (With Synology, it seems the web portal just gives an error saying H.265 playback isn’t supported.)

Currently, QVR Client Web does not perform real-time transcoding via the QVR Server/NAS side.

Whether H.265/HEVC can be played in the browser depends on whether the client environment supports HEVC decoding, including the browser, operating system, and device hardware. If the client environment supports HEVC—for example, in some Chrome environments—then H.265 streaming can be played.
