Searching the word "settings" brings up way too many hits, so I seek a crash course in the most basic stuff: (I have a 5442T-ZE running V2.840.15 and therabouts firmware - Build Date: 2022-08-18)
1) What is a substream? My default substream 1 looks like a lower quality version of the Main stream. What is its purpose?
Profile Management:
1) How are these used? For example what is the Day/night profile if you also have "day and night" in the dropdown? What is the best one to use? I found "DahuaSunrisesunset" but before i mess there i do not understand how to best use these.
2) Back on conditions tab, why is there no "Full Time" "General" and Day/Night Profile as eluded to on the profile setup? This is why i am confused, as these do not match.
Conditions:
1) Are there recommended settings here or is it 100% user preference? I have mine in default and it seem pretty good, but i wonder if i can get it better?
Video:
This is the doozy. From the "sub stream" being turned on to ALL the other drodowns, what is the best settings? (Encode modes, frame rates, Bit rate types, etc. etc etc) Again, are there recommended settings for a "best" option between resolution and optimal storage capacity? I have plenty of space, 8 TB minus 3.5 TB personal data, although how can I LIMIT the space dedicated to the footage? Is this dones in the cam software (BLue Iris etc)?
Also what is the "ROI" tab do? What is this for?
Audio:
using G.711A by Default? Are these just audio codecs i need not worry about? Sampling frequency to use?
Events:
1) Does the Surveillance software used override the 5442T's settings, or are they complimentary? What takes precedence? (Once i learn how to use them)
Thanks so much. I assume this has been asked by others learning so sorry if i was not able to find the thread.
