Camera Stream 0
I have several Amcrest cameras which use stream 0 for their lower resolution substream. I can’t find a way to change that stream’s number in the camera and rather than adjusting the main stream’s settings (stream 1) I’d like to be able to specify stream 0 in SecuritySpy’s camera settings Device tab. But the dropdown there only allows for setting the stream number to 1 through 32, not 0. Anyone know of a way to do this?
Thanks

As far as we know, stream numbers of Amcrest cameras start at 1. Could you point us to the information you have about stream 0?
If you can determine the correct RTSP path to refer to the stream you want, try setting the Profile to "Manual Configuration", and entering the path in the "Manual profile path" box.
For Amcrest cameras, the path format is going to be "cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0" where the "channel" is the stream number. If you put "channel=0" here, do you get the stream you want, or a "not found" error?
You are correct. "channel=1&substream=0" accesses the main stream, while "channel=1&substream=1" accesses the substream. The latter gives me what I need via the RTSP path in the way your describe.
My mistake - sorry for that and thanks for your help.
