I manged to buy a TandemVu camera and can only get one stream to work in BI. I could only find one post about it on the forum and could not get both streams to work only one.

Would anyone know how to find it? Channel 1 is the PTZ and 2 is the Panoramic. BI only find channel 1.

Do you have 2 cams with the same IP but with a different channel number?
What are the URL's you're using in BI?
I would think they'd be identical except for the channel number but I don't have that cam so.....
 
Yes 2 cams with one IP, where do you change the channel number in BI?

I changed the below and it makes no difference.

First, let's try some RTSP URL's in VLC to see if they're right:

RTSP with Authentication:
rtsp:/<username>:<password>@<IP address of device>:<RTSP port>/Streaming/channels/<channel number><stream number>

Example:
Code: 
rtsp:/Hikvision:guest@173.200.91.70:554/Streaming/channels/101 – get the main stream of the 1st channel
rtsp:/Hikvision:guest@173.200.91.70:554/Streaming/channels/201 – get the main stream of the 2nd channel

NOTE: insure to place 2 "/" after "RTSP:", as forum software won't allow 2 to be displayed consecutively.
 
This works in VLC,

Code: 
rtsp:/Hikvision:guest@173.200.91.70:554/Streaming/channels/101 – get the main stream of the 1st channel

The 2 channel did not.

In your first post, when you go to the "Panoramic" tab, is nothing greyed out or needs enabling of either stream?

Again in VLC, what about trying "202" at the end of the URL, the sub stream of the 2nd channel?
 
That worked! it's 202.

Now how do i get that to work in BI?

Thanks!

Place "Streaming/channels/202" (no quotes) after the "/" that's there now for the main stream URL.

Thanks for your help Tony now anyone else with a TandemVu knows.

Yeah, 201 is what I put for the second URL in post #4 because I wanted to see if the sub would work in place of the main, which it did. BI doesn't know which is which, it just does what it told (most of the time).

Glad it's working for ya!

So does this mean you got both main and sub streams for both cameras working? i.e. Two mains and two subs?

Looking at the DS-2SF8C442MXG-ELW but only if it's going to work properly with BI.
 
I would think that for a 2 sensor camera in BI it would go something like this: Set up 2 cameras in BI, both with same IP but with different URL's to determine the channel and the stream type. This assumes that both sensors (channels) can provide 2 streams, main and sub.

One camera setup in BI:
101 – get the main stream of the 1st channel
102 – get the sub stream of the 1st channel

A second camera setup in BI:
201 – get the main stream of the 2nd channel
202 – get the sub stream of the 2nd channel

Very nice. Just ordered it. Can't wait.

I also ordered new caps for the ones that blew on he power supply board in the old camera. It's too valuable and good to not try and fix.

Can anyone verify that this would work for the DS-2SF8C442MXG-ELW? I realized the model was never specified. I tried to access the guest camera but that IP address doesn't work and even the stream URLs don't play in VLC after inserting the second "/".

Why does the RTSP port show 555 in this screenshot? Shouldn't it be 554?

That was @cmx 's screenshot from post #3, you'd have to ask him.
But 554 is the normal default, he may have set his camera different, I don't know.

What exactly is the URL for VLC that won't play?
