    Sub Stream is lowering quality of Main Stream

    So I just tried: Main Stream: /cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0 1st Sub Stream: /cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1 This is right from the Sub Stream Guide. So far it seemed to work. General Tab of the Camera settings are now showing Sub Stream activity. Should I keep this or...

    Sub Stream is lowering quality of Main Stream

    Right on. I'll hold off on upgrading for now. But that helped me find the latest firmware. Here's another one for ya. I got the new cam working in Blue Iris. But the Stream Profile Main and Sub paths don't auto populate. So for camera: Loryta IPC-T2431T-AS-2.8mm what would use for the path? I...

    Sub Stream is lowering quality of Main Stream

    Will do. I'm also adding another camera. I'm guessing things will run more "normal" if I have a few cameras going. Will take some screen shots too. Also, I just received the Loryta IPC-T2431T-AS 2.8mm from EmpireTech-Andy today. I'd like to upgrade the firmware first thing. Would it be from...

    Sub Stream is lowering quality of Main Stream

    So I'm growing more confused about the ability to do continuous recording in low resolution with the sub stream... then when the camera is triggered it switches to the Main stream. I'm not able to do this yet. Current settings: select "Continuous + Triggered", have no (0.00) "Pre-trigger video...

    Sub Stream is lowering quality of Main Stream

    Ok, I just tested this. I had it "time out" so it was not longer triggered while still recording. Then i triggered it again and it does show the orange line to let you know of the triggered duration. But I didn't see a difference in video quality as it was supposed to be in sub stream mode. Is...

    Sub Stream is lowering quality of Main Stream

    Got it. I think I'll stick with "When Triggered" as I can't think of a reason to record at other times since this is all indoors. I did install Deepstack since a video I watched recommend it. Although I'm not sure I have any use for it. If I stick with cont+triggers, does the GUI show me when...

    Sub Stream is lowering quality of Main Stream

    Very good explanation. Thank you. With my old analog Revo system I was only recording upon motion triggers. This is at a retail business and I really only need that. I would set any motion at all to start the recording. Although that system was rather limited. I'll probably try to keep it on...

    Sub Stream is lowering quality of Main Stream

    Ok, I just figured it out. It seems that I wasn't live viewing the full resolution image because I didn't have "Solo selected camera" checked in the right-click menu. It's confusing because I only have one camera connected. (so the image shows large) When I checked that I got a very clear image...

    Sub Stream is lowering quality of Main Stream

    Hello everyone. First post here. Thanks for having me. I set up a Sub Stream on a Amcrest PTZ cam. Before I used the Sub stream the Main Stream was very clear. I did several text tests. This issue is showing on both in the single cam live stream and in the recordings. And it clears up when I...
