Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2 Substream setting help

[ljw2k]

Anyone help me here as for the life of me can't get substream working on the Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2. Anyone screenshot there settings please.
My Blue Iris is not upto date around a year old will this be the problem?

My older Hikvision is working fine on these settings

Is there a setting in the cam's webGUI to enable ONVF or create a ONVIF user?

Or enable sub stream and/or third stream?

I'd run ODM and log into that cam, select "Live Video" and check the URL at the bottom right.

What is the exact issue? BI seems to be reporting that it is receiving a substream. As tony noted Hik has a third stream available for 1mp resolution that I prefer to use as a "sub stream".

Hikvision/Dahua Third Stream with Blue Iris Substream option

Many users have taken advantage of the new BI substream option which allows BI to utilize the subtream for decoding, matrix view and now recording continuously until a triggered event, then going to full stream. This saves a ton of cpu. The downside is that in matrix view on a large screen the...

I don't see any settings in the Hikvisions Web GUI for any substreams and I tried to run Onvif manager but it does not see my new camera only my older 8mp which I see the stream - rtsp:/192.168.0.25:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&unicast=true&proto=Onvif

@fenderman I wanted to enable substream for the reduction in cpu .

All I see in the Hikvision WEB GUI is this below no mention of adding a substream only main or sub and not both.

You are used to the dahua interface. The hik does not have a checkmark to enable or disable a substream. When you select sub you can then change the settings for sub and it wont affect the main. If you enable third stream as in my link you will see a new option in the dropdown for third stream which is my preference as you can go to 1mp.

Essentially you are just telling the camera what the settings video settings it should output when the main or sub is requested. The dahua checkbox is kind of unnecessary because if the sub is not requested the camera does nothing anyway.

Did you enable onvif on the camera then run find inspect?

 

[ljw2k]

Yes

 

[ljw2k]

I say Yes but I do not see where in the web gui to enable ONVIF so I take its alreay ENABLED? I only have this screen

 

[ljw2k]

Whooooo I think it might have worked.

 

[ljw2k]

Thanks Fenderman I needed to run the FIND/INSPECT again after I enabled ONVIF and SAVE.

Now my CPU is back to around 5% instead of 35

If you are continuously recording the substream consider using the third stream which will give you at least one megapixel maybe more on these newer cams... It will use a bit more processing power but nowhere near 4K...
