LTS cameras - how to access third stream?

[regexaurus]

I manage several each of these LTS camera models:
CMIP3C42W-28M (turret)
CMIP8C42W-28M (bullet)
The cameras are connected to a LTN8716K-P16 NVR.
The specs tab on the linked product pages for these cameras indicate that both models have third stream support. For the bullet camera, it simply indicates this next to Stream Type. For the turret camera, the specs include third stream info a couple places. So far, I've not determined how to access third streams for these cameras. My understanding is the cameras and NVR are made by HikVision--essentially rebadged as LTS. In my searching, I came across this ipcamtalk topic, but so far I've found no options for enabling third stream or VCA monitoring (to expose option to enable third stream) for our cameras. I'm guessing third stream is enabled for the cameras and cannot be disabled... Do you have any experience with third stream on LTS cameras or suggestions for accessing these streams? I don't know whether or how accessing the cameras behind an NVR affects this. I've accessed main and sub streams on the cameras from BI5...
Thank you in advance!

Hikvision/Dahua Third Stream with Blue Iris Substream option

Many users have taken advantage of the new BI substream option which allows BI to utilize the subtream for decoding, matrix view and now recording continuously until a triggered event, then going to full stream. This saves a ton of cpu. The downside is that in matrix view on a large screen the...

My cameras don't have that System Service tab under Configuration > System > Maintenance. Yes, I'm signed on the camera as an administrator.

Only the turret lists a third stream....check lts specs again....
specs list only 1fps but I think its a typo...and should be at least 10...

In the specs for the turret, I see:

Compression Standard
Video Compression	Main stream: H.264 / H.265 Sub stream: H.264 / H.265 / MJPEG Third stream: H.264 / H.265

Image
Third stream	50 Hz: 1 fps (1280 × 720, 640 × 480, 640 × 360, 352 × 288, 320 × 240) 60 Hz: 1 fps (1280 × 720, 640 × 480, 640 × 360, 352 × 288, 320 × 240)

Network
General Functions	One-key reset, three streams, heartbeat, mirror, password protection, privacy mask, watermark, IP address filter

In the specs for the bullet, I see:

Video
Stream Type	Main stream/Sub-stream/third stream

As indicated previously, I see no detailed third stream specs for the bullet camera.

Good idea about contacting LTS. I sent an email to one of their support addresses. They've discontinued both cameras, so we'll see how they respond. Thank you!
