LHA / LNK Series: Configuring substream recording settings

Your LHA / LNK Series DVR / NVR system uses two different recording streams:

• Mainstream: a high-quality stream used for live viewing and recording.
• Substream: a lower quality stream used for remote viewing and playback.

You can use these recording streams to record high-quality video locally and review video remotely with low bandwidth.

Prerequisite:

• NVR units also support a Mobilestream to set a custom video stream for remote viewing purposes. The following instructions require you to access your system using your DVR / NVR and a monitor.
