I'm setting up Blue Iris and I have 20 cameras connected now. I am going through the Wikis on here and have reached the optimization section with substreams.

I have some Lorex e891ab cameras connected to BI but I can't find anything to identify the correct paths for the substream. I must be missing something obvious. Can anyone point me in the right direction? A Google search hasn't gotten me anywhere yet.

In BI you should simply type in the IP address, username and password and then hit find/inspect and let BI do its thing. That should then populate in the sub drop down the correct path to use.

Or you copy what is in the mainstream and change the 0 to a 1.

Post a screenshot of the page in BI.

Thank you for mentioning find/inspect! This came up in the box when I ran it. I'll post a screenshot of the setting page also. The find/inspect is what I was missing. The cameras were active in the system, but the additional information didn't become available until I ran that again.2023-01-28_9-10-52.jpg
