How do I set up a multi-stream Vivotek network camera in SecuritySpy?
These cameras have two or more streams that can be set with different parameters such as compression and video size. Firstly, connect to the camera using Safari or some other web browser (type the camera’s IP address into the browser’s address bar and press return). Locate the Video Settings page in the camera: there you will see configuration options for the streams. Make sure to set one of these to JPEG (you will also most likely want to set the highest available resolution for the stream to get the best quality images). Then, in SecuritySpy, open the Video Device Setup window, add a new network camera, select the Vivotek Multi-Stream option (either the fixed or PTZ option depending on the capabilities of your camera), enter the camera’s IP address, and select the input number corresponding to the video stream number you set up in the camera.
