1. Connect cameras to the servers.
2. Synchronize the time of all servers and cameras with a single NTP server.
3. Add cameras to the system (see Searching, adding, configuring, and removing IP devices, Bulk creation of IP devices). Preferred protocol: ONVIF generic.

4. Multistreaming:

   1. Set different high- and low-quality streams for each camera.

   2. Low-quality stream settings must be lower than the High quality stream.
   3. Enable GreenStream in the camera context menu on the layout (see Selecting video stream quality in a Surveillance surveillance window (GreenStream)) or in the layout settings (see Selecting the default video stream for all cameras on the layout).
5. Codec type (can differ for different camera models): H.265 or H.264 is recommended.
6. FPS: the Low quality stream frame rate must be at least 6 to ensure the correct operation of the detectors.
7. Resolution:
   1. Aspect ratio must be the same for Low and High quality streams*.
   2. The Low quality stream resolution must be no less than 640x360 and no more than 1280x720 to ensure the correct operation of the detectors.
8. Bitrate: 

   1. Recommended type*: VBR.

   2. Set maximum bitrate/bandwidth values.

   3. Recommended bitrate: 1 Mbps per 1 MP.

9. GOV (also known as GOP, I Frame, etc.): it is recommended to have at least one keyframe per 2 seconds.

1. Create and configure an email notification (see Send email).
2. Configure a cycle macro (once a day) to check if all cameras are recording (see Check that archive record exists, Examples of Cycle rules macros).
3. Configure event macros based on statistical data (CPU load, free disk space, see Starting the Event rules macros based on statistical data Configuration of start conditions).
