Setting up NVR for record or broadcast screens of 2 monitors

There are some notes which should be taken in consideration when setting up NVR.

When you create camera profile in NVR, it’s recommended to create ONVIF camera. ONVIF camera pofile would  give you more convenient way of changing camera’s settings – when you need to change resolution, you won’t need to open camera’s web page but can change settings from NVR or with ONVIF device manager. However not all NVR support ONVIF protocol

• Your NVR doesn’t support ONVIF protocol. When setting up NVR you should create 2  Generic Cameras or 2 RTSP-camera  and input respective PC-CCTV stream for each created camera. You need to enter “RTP over RTSP over TCP” stream.
• Your NVR fully supports ONVIF protoclol. When setting ur NVR you should create 2 ONVIF cameras  (different NVR brands may utilize different name for ONVIF camera profile, for example it can be “ONVIF profile”, see your NVR’s manual) and input respective PC-CCTV stream for each ONVIF camera. You need to enter “ONVIF URL” stream.
• Your NVR only partly supports ONVIF protocol. Some NVR only partly support ONVIF protocol, for example you won’t be eble enter ONVIF URL because NVR doesn’t have the field or NVR fills the field up itself. In that case you should create 1 ONVIF camera, and using PC-CCTV program access log (“Show access log”) check which ONVIF URL is used by the NVR. After that create Generic Camera and input  PC-CCTV stream of another monitor’s screan. You need to enter “RTP over RTSP over TCP” stream.
