Assigning Dual Streams
Dual stream support enables you to take advantage of two different streams from an IP camera. One
stream can be high definition forensic video, while the other stream can be a lower resolution for live
display. This allows for OpenEye Radius or Remote to display more cameras while utilizing lower
bandwidth and less CPU usage.
The second stream is used for motion detection in the server, which lightens the processing load for
centrally-managed motion detection configurations. Dual Stream can be configured to allow for the
continued use of Hot Spot when desired.
Dual streaming functions are limited to cameras that support this feature.
