Hi,
Could you please explain why you want to switch to the H.264 codec on mainstream? For instance, it's not possible to establish an RTSP stream with a third-party app via mainstream, or for other reasons. What's the third-party app?
Please send me (@Solla-topee) the camera's MAC address via a private message for checking.

@Solla-topee Hi, its due to Apple Home Kit Specs. Only H.264 works.
Thank you

is there a reason why this isn't available as an option by default? I bought the camera mainly because the product page said h264. Even today the product page still says h264. I expect anyone wanting to integrate to HomeKit via scrypted or similar will have the same issue - need to either transcode main stream or accept using secondary stream, neither of which are ideal solutions. I will use the mail template also to request update...
