What is it exactly “Dual stream” option (“Enable dedicated live stream”) on the server?
Does it run really one more open RTSP stream? if so, where how I can know URL (with parameters and port) to connect to it directly from outside?
If not (kind of hidden internal stream), can I get access to it from SDK client? How?
Or is it a completely different feature that is not related to client side somehow (impossible to connect to)?
Thanks.
XProtect Professional and Express (and XProtect Enterprise) have the capability to record one stream from the camera while live streaming another stream from the camera. This means that two stream will be coming from the camera to the server. Clients like the Smart Client or a MIP SDK based client will have one stream in live mode and one stream in playback mode. If the “Enable dedicated live stream” option is used it means that the live stream and the playback stream is not the same.
(Note that XProtect Corporate, Expert and Plus products have the capability of multiple live streams.)
Not all cameras or camera drivers support this, but most do, you can check your camera on the supported hardware page. https://www.milestonesys.com/community/business-partner-tools/supported-devices/
