5.2.7.0 - RTSP sub-streams for high-MP cameras

[spuls]

Has anyone configured sub-streams for the Reolinks? 423 & 520. The main stream string reads /bcs/channel0_main.bcs?channel=0&stream=0&user={......}

change "main" to "sub"

/bcs/channel0_sub.bcs?channel=0&stream=0&user={......}

Sorry, the Sub stream needs to be enabled

Thank you - but the setting isn't obvious.

/bcs/channel0_sub.bcs?channel=0&stream=0&user={......}

Thank you - I'll try that - or at least I will when I can find out why nothing's on-line on BI!!!!!

ONVIF Device manager is a good and free program. It will illustrate the correct URL to use in the BI parameters. Toggle between streams and the URL will be listed during the live view screen.

Aye, I've downloaded and got it working quickly. The cameras appear in this app; but not in BI strangely!

You need to logon to the cam itself and check and set the substream there, in BI you are simply configuring to use it but if the substream isn’t actually enabled in the cam then BI won’t be able to pull the stream.

Thanks - but that seems to be half the problem! I can use both v7 & v8 of the Reolink Software. Both provide settings for Main & Sub-Stream, but not how they are enabled... Reolink haven't updated their FAQ on connecting to BI. I've had them working under Reolink description rather than Generic/ONVIF - but for some reason (probably Network related) I can't now view in BI.

They are enabled by default as far i can tell. There is also no option to disable substreams on my 520.


maybe youcan try the follow option as substream:

/h264Preview_01_sub

I suspect on their app, the streams are governed by choosing, Fluent, Balanced, Clear etc?
I'll give that setting a go, thank you....

In the ONVIF app when you select Sub-stream and view it in Live the sub URL should show in the bottom of the screen.
