I'm having some trouble trying set my alert to grab alerts to JPEG from main stream. When I go to the aiinput folder all I see is low quality jpeg files. If look at my directory I had to remove the sub stream from Video tab in order to get the correct jpegs size.

This is what @thebaoster is referring to.

When using dual-streaming, JPEG images will be created from the main-stream instead of
the sub-stream where possible. Rather than fully spooling up main-stream decoding, the
software uses the direct-to-disc pre-trigger frames buffer to synthesize these images. This
means you should specify at least enough pre-trigger time on the Record tab to span the
key-frame interval for your main-stream.
