Add Video Streams from a Multi-channel Device
There are devices that output more than one video streams to the NVR server. For example, a
video encoder converts a number of analog video signals into the same amount of IP video
streams; certain high megapixel cameras such as ACTi KCM-5111, supports outputting
multiple VGA streams cropped from a single high-resolution video source. These multiple
streams coming from a single device are managed as different cameras by the NVR server.
To add these streams as multiple channels for you to view and record, please:
1. Select the desired stream mode in “ Stream Mode ” field on
Setup page Devices tab Basic tab.
2. The “ Channel No. ” column will display for you to input the
stream ID (the same with your setting in device’s web
configurator).
3. After configuration, click “ Apply ”.
4. Go to All Devices page, duplicate this device to a new
channel, and repeat this step until all the channels you need
are added.
5. Individually modify the Channel No value of the channels.

Tip
Saving CPU loading with Your Dual Streaming devices
The device supporting dual-streaming function can output two video streams of different value. You
may make the live view stream smaller in size with lower frame rate to save decoding CPU power
and bandwidth. Meanwhile the recording stream can be larger and have more FPS so that you have
clear images when you need to retrieve the evidence. For settings in both streams of devices with
dual stream functionality, please refer to section Configure Video Format on page 76.
