Clone cameras pulling its own streams

[dannieboiz]

For some reason my clone cameras are pulling its own stream. I have them all direct to disc recording. Am I readin this right? s there something I need to do to share the same streams?

IIRC, only 1 stream is pulled from the camera and BI shares that stream to several clones.
In other words, if you clone your Driveway camera 3 times, still only 1 stream is pulled from the camera by BI.

I don't have any cloned cameras and when I look at my status I see each camera several times (because of camera groups) but all their stats are identical (within a camera number) ....not sure why yours are individually different.

Look further down the list. While the clones may show an active stream, the original camera won't be showing a stream. In the screen grab "Front Lawn".

If you look at my Driveway for instance... 192.168.1.207 they are all pulling streams

192.168.1.204 (Front door) also pulling stream on both ends
192.168.1.209(front lawn) this is the only one that I see not pulling any stream.

I use clone cameras and they do not have any bitrate on them

FWIW, I just copied a cam over to 2 new cams (cloned); only the original shows a bitrate under status, the 2 copies do not.

On the primary camera make sure that the Designate clone master is checked on the video tab, On the clone camera make sure that this is unchecked. On my clone cameras everything is turn off except record, i do no motion detection or anything, just record. I created the clone camera by copying the existing camera, then turning everything off.

Ensure that the clone is using the same path as the primary

I went back and did the config and detect, a few of the clone fixed itself some other didn't so I just recreated new ones from scratch for those few that was showing issues and now they're not showing to pull anything.

So I am playing with the clone camera option, and when I cloned a camera and did the stuff mentioned above, it shows in the table that the bitrate is 0.00 for the cloned camera, but my camera totals go from 270 MP/s to 320 MP/s - is that supposed to happen? Every camera I clone bumps it about 50 MP/s even though it shows 0.00 in table.
