Do this! Use Sub Streams in Blue Iris

In this video I talk about why you should use sub streams from your security cameras in Blue Iris.
Sub streams are useful in Blue Iris because they allow users to set up multiple video streams with different settings, such as resolution and frame rate, running simultaneously. This is beneficial for users who want to view their security cameras on a variety of devices with different connection speeds, as they can adjust the settings of each stream to match the device they're using. Additionally, sub streams are useful for reducing bandwidth and storage requirements, as they can be set to lower resolutions, which require less data.

Just an FYI that I believe was left out of Joes amazing video… if the main/sub stream profiles are missing from the drop downs click find/inspect in the top right of the Network IP Camera Configuration page and it’ll populate the drop downs… I practically have the exact setup here and for some reason even with my cameras having been running for over a year I had to do this. Anyways, these videos are gold… thanks again Joe and keep up the great content.

Thank you! This saved me a lot of time!!!

Finally! Someone that knows what they are talking about and doesn't blather-on and wastes time. Excellent video and speaker!!! Thanks for getting to the point fast and fixing my problem with Blue Iris crashing. My Blue iris CPU was constantly running high 90's to 100 and crashing before the day was over. Now its (CPU) running in the 50's as an average... BIG DIFFERENCE.

It makes a *HUGE* difference, I've used for years. And turning off burning in the timestamp info in BI.

[@learnblueiris]

Thanks for checking out the video! I agree, both of those things help with CPU usage.

Killed my i9 system with 8 x 4K/8MP cameras and had to go to sub-streams. Now I understand. Thanks.

Great stream and info regarding the use of sub streams. Thanks so much for sharing. Love the thumbnail btw!

[@learnblueiris]

Have to give all the credit to my wife on the awesome thumbnails! Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video.

After setting the sub stream on the camera and Blue Iris. How does Blue Iris know to use the Main stream for recording? Is this done by default once recording is setup?

[@michaelpoczynek]

Thank you. I'm not sure if I would ever use it after paying for high-res cameras.

[@Practical-IT]

Another great video. I'm definitely feeling like I have a frame of reference to start testing Blue Iris now. Keep them coming!

[@learnblueiris]

Thank you Jeremy. Glad they are helping!

[@JasonsLabVideos]

First. YEAH. !!!! watching this !! - Editing, Pretty sure the Hikvision cameras has SubStream turned on too..

[@learnblueiris]

hikvision has the capability. I think it is on by default. Thanks for watching!

[@jusdoit967]

is it possible to do that with usb cameras ?

[@davejoseph5615]

I'm not sure I like the fact that my live view is then of the low resolution streams.

[@MobileGamer-qd8oi]

I have an Axis P3719 multi sensor camera, do you know how to get substreams for each individual sensor? Or how hot get substreams from Axis cameras in general?
