Hi

 

The D235 and the C225 have a /stream2 resolution set at 1280x960

However, for reference the C310 and TC65 have a very handy /stream2 resolution of 640x360

 

The lower resolution of the secondary stream is MUCH better for those of us managing our own NVR. It means that I can manage stream analysis on the lower resolution video whilst recording the full hi-res without incurring any real CPU overhead.

 

That 1280x960 resolution is more than four times the size of the 640x360 stream and causes a significant impact with several streams being decoded at the same time. It's got to a point where I don't run any analysis on some cameras and just rely on the raw footage without any motion detection or similar.

 

Yes, I could manage the motion detection on the camera and watch for pushed ONVIF events. However, the built-in analysis isn't close to the featureset of a centralised NVR and doesn't give me the flexibility I have become used to :)

 

Please can there be an option to reduce the /stream2 RTSP feed to 640x480/460 where it is not already ? (I imagine this isn't restricted to just the D235 and C225)

 

For reference, I am using zoneminder .. but other NVR solutions will likely have similar issues.
