Upgraded from BI 4 to 5 today. I didn't even know about the substream thing. My motivation was Deepstack integration. But then I read the note about substreams. I have 14 cameras ranging from 2 to 5 MPs. I enabled and configured the substreams on each one and had BI rescan the ONVIF cameras and in some cases I had to manually select the cameras. In one case I even had to go hunt down the path for the second stream for a Sony camera.
As I enabled the substream on each camera configuration, the cpu dropped and kept dropping. By the time I was done, my cpu usage was bouncing between 1 and 2%. I couldn't believe it. I had to run around to each camera and make sure motion detection was really working which is just as well as it was before. On top of that, I haven't yet disabled object detection as is often recommended when integrating with Deepstack.
