1. Go the Hardware tab in the System Settings dialog (1).
2. In the object tree on the Hardware tab, select the previously created Camera object that corresponds to the video camera for which multistream mode is to be configured (2). The right part of the Hardware tab shows the settings panel for the selected object.
3. On the Camera object's settings panel, go to the Advanced settings tab (3).
   
4. To enable multistream mode, check the Video stream setting box (4). This will display tabs for configuring the camera's video streams (5).

5. By default, all streams are enabled. If it is necessary to disable unused streams, clear the check boxes that correspond to the numbers of the relevant streams (6).

6. Set the Default switch (7) to the position corresponding to the number of stream that is to be in use in the following cases:

   1. To display video both locally and on remote clients;

   2. To send to remote clients, including the Videogate, that can record this video stream;

      Info
      title Note.
      If a specific video stream is requested via Video gate, then the requested stream is send to Video gate, not the Default stream.

      
      

   3. When a video stream is not specified for the video request.

   Info
   title Note.
   This stream is used, for example, to display video on the Video Surveillance Monitor if a default stream has been selected for the camera or for displaying video on the Video Surveillance Monitor of the web server.

   
   

7. Set the Video analytics radio button to the number of the stream to be used by sensors (8). This stream will be used for the main motion detection tool, zone detection tools, tracking detection tool and face detection tool (if an external recognizer is not in use).

   For the license plates recognition server, face detection tool (if an external recognizer is in use) and detection tools that are the part of the Detector Pack subsystem, the "Default" stream is in use.

8. Set the Archive switch to position corresponding to the number of stream that is to be recorded to the archive not upon alarm – the continuous recording is performed (9). 

9. Set the Archive(alarm) switch to position corresponding to the number of stream that is to be recorded to the archive upon alarm (10).

   This stream is also used for long-term Backup archive.

   Info
   title Note.
   If different streams are selected for recording to the archive upon alarms and continuous recording, recording is performed non-stop and detection tools are enabled, then upon alarm recording of the current archive fragment is stopped in the continuous recording stream and recording of a new fragment starts in the alarm recording stream. When the alarm ends and after pre-alarm recording the continuous recording with the corresponding stream resumes. If the same stream is selected for recording to the archive upon alarms and continuous recording, then recording of current fragment is not stopped upon alarm.

   
   

   Info
   title Note.
   If pre-alarm recording is configured, then when different streams are selected for recording to the archive and continuous recording, some archive recordings overlay as the following video fragment starts before the previous ends.
