Page 296: Glossary
Network Video Recorder User Manual 18.2 Glossary • Dual Stream: Dual stream is a technology used to record high resolution video locally while transmitting a lower resolution stream over the network. The two streams are generated by the NVR, with the main stream having a maximum resolution of 4CIF and the sub-stream having a maximum resolution of CIF.
