Note:
1) Compression format: The main stream is default to use H.264 compression format. The slave stream can
select H.264 and MJPEG. When the slave stream is H.264 compression format, the highest definition supported
is Full D1(720x576); when the slave stream is in MJPEG compression format, the highest definition supported is
HD(1280x720). The slave stream in MJPEG compression format is commonly used for the camera to capture
images with higher definition.

restart settings after the video stream type is modified.
