These are the paths that worked for me:

Hikivision Main Stream
/Streaming/Channels/1

Hikivision Sub Stream
/Streaming/Channels/2

Amcrest Main Stream
/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0

Amcrest sub Stream
/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1

It's set to "Main Profile", but there is also a "High Profile" in the drop down.

Hello! Thanks. I set the camera to Generic ONVIF/RTSP Both RTSP options are checked on in blue Iris. I set the main stream to /cam/realmonitor?channel={CAMNO}&subtype=0&authbasic={AUTH64} and the sub stream to /cam/realmonitor?channel={CAMNO}&subtype=1&authbasic={AUTH64} I still see ...

Hello again, I'm posting some screenshot with the hope that someone can help me setup sub streams. Logged into the Hiki camera, The first image is what I see when the main stream is selected The 2nd photo is what I see when I select "sub stream" Obviously, the 3rd image is from the BI inte...

I'm missing a step.

In BI I see where to enter the sub feed path... but where do I get that path/URL from?

Great info, Thanks! I did confirm that overlays are off. When I load the interface the group "All cameras" comes up (there are 16) We also have sub groups which contain 4-5 cameras (of the 16) For example, Main Floor, 2nd Floor, etc. By sub streams, do you mean getting rid of the All Camer...

Nice setup! Lots of great tips in there, I've already deployed a few, but have a few questions. To clarify, it's more efficient to generate the overlays from the cameras and not on Blue Iris? Newbie question here, but how do you know you're at 33% if you're not viewing the live feeds? When I have BI...

Hello! A few months back we started adding cameras and started pegging our computer so we upgraded to a 10th Gen i7 with 32G ram (dedicated for BI) We are now at 16 cameras and the CPU pretty much runs pegged again. any pointers? We use Hikivision 4K cameras, but reduce them to 1080 resolution. I do...
