Adjusting Secondary Stream Quality

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Nx Witness's architecture provides significant CPU and network bandwidth savings by acquiring multiple streams from a single camera: High Resolution (regular) and Low Resolution (approximately x10 less bandwidth). The second stream is always decoded by Server and is used for the following:

Software Motion Detection

CPU and Bandwidth Saving during Playback (RADASS)

The quality of the second stream is set automatically, however, it is possible for User to adjust the quality of the stream.

! IMPORTANT. Higher quality of the second stream provides for a much better look and feel (especially on larger monitors), but can significantly increase CPU load on Server . It is not recommended to change these settings.

To adjust the quality of the second stream:

1.Open Camera Settings and go to Expert.

2.Check I have read the manual and understand the risks.

3.Adjust Secondary stream quality.
