Blasting mainstream to multiple devices will also bring down your network in addition to strangling your computer...
In BI under Camera status where it shows all your cameras and the bitrates, IP, name, etc., at the very bottom is a number in MP/s - what is your number?
And one camera versus your 15+ cameras on a screen and you won't notice it's substream...
And the camera always goes to mainstream when you solo it out.
You can always bump the bitrate of the substream. Make it 1024 or 2048 and you won't tell the difference in multi-camera view.
Give it a day with substreams and you won't notice a difference. Of course you will perceive a difference at first because you know you changed it.
This D1 resolution isn't good enough for you in multi-camera view but is more than good enough for OpenALPR to read it?
Give it a shot - send your D1 substream to OpenALPR and be amazed at its accuracy....
If substreams degraded the performance none of us would use it.
Plus when you solo a camera, it goes to mainstream.
While this thread is for LPR, tell me that the D1 resolution at a higher bitrate is not good enough for your eyes in a multi-camera view. Or as pointed out, use a higher substream resolution.
We have folks come here all the time thinking that more MP is better, whether it be for general purposes or for LPR. Those of us that have been around long enough know that sensor size is more important than MP. Those that have been here awhile know that I share a representative sample of...
