Add Video Streams from a Multi-channel Device
There are cameras that output more than one video streams to NVR. 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 camera are managed as different cameras by 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 camera ’s web
configurator).
3. After configuration, click “ Apply ”.
4. Go to All Cameras page, duplicate this camera to a new
channel, 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
may make the live view stream smaller in size with lesser frame rate to save
and bandwidth. Meanwhile the recording stream can be larger and have more
clear images when you need to retrieve evidence. For settings in both
stream functionality, please refer to section
Configure Video Format on page 57
