To use multistreaming over the ONVIF protocol, select ONVIF 2.X brand and 1-channel-multistream model when creating an ONVIF device (using Camera discovery tool, see Installing and configuring security system components guide). Two streams will be available.

...

1. Go the Hardware tab (1) in the System Settings dialog window.
2. In the object tree on the Hardware tab, select the previously created Camera object (2) that corresponds to the video camera for which multistream mode is to be configured. The right part of the Hardware tab shows the settings panel for the selected object.

   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. From Check the box in the Video analytics drop-down list,  column (7) select  in the line of the stream number that should be used for the LPR channel, the main motion detection tool, zone detection tools, tracking detection tool and face detection tool (if an external recognizer is not used).

9. From Check the box in the Archive (alarms) drop-down list,  column (9) select  in the line of the number of stream that is to be recorded to the archive upon alarm.

   This stream is also used for 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

   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.
