- **name** (*Optional*): This parameter allows you to override the name of your camera. The default is "Amcrest Camera". In the case of multi-camera setups, this is highly recommended as camera id number will be randomly changed at each reboot if a name is not allocated.

- **resolution** (*Optional*): This parameter allows you to specify the camera resolution. For a high resolution (1080/720p), specify the option `high`. For VGA resolution (640x480p), specify the option `low`. If omitted, it defaults to *high*.

You can also set the `rtsp` option to generate the streaming via RTSP protocol. If omitted, it defaults to *snapshot*.
