Notes
NOTE:
  1. It's crucial to ensure the username and password you enter are accurate and correspond to the specific camera you are trying to decode. The credentials should match the login information for the camera's system. 
  2. If decoding the RTSP stream of IP cameras from other brands has been unsuccessful, it could necessitate integration efforts. Integration involves developing custom software to interface with the IP cameras from different brands. Collaboration with the camera manufacturer to understand their protocols and developing a solution that can effectively integrate with their products may also be required.
  3. This codec has a maximum capacity to decode four streams, which can be a combination of two USB camera streams and two network streams, or one USB camera stream and three network streams, or four network streams. If two USB cameras are already connected and both checkboxes are selected, there will be two channels remaining for decoding additional streams from network streams. It's important to note that attempting to decode more than four streams simultaneously will exceed the codec's capabilities.
  4. If two USB cameras are already connected but both checkboxes are NOT selected, there will be four channels remainning for decoding additional network streams.
