Once Camera is discovered, Nx Witness attempts to configure the following settings on Camera: the best possible image quality for the main video stream (best possible resolution and FPS) and optimal quality for the secondary stream.

In some cases it may be necessary to set up custom stream settings on Cameras. Nx Witness allows this as well.

! IMPORTANT. In this case Nx Witness can record Camera with specified settings only. It will not be possible to set up FPS and Quality when configuring Recording Schedule (see "Modifying Recording Schedule").
