In the monitor settings, it is necessary to specify the resolution for the second channel due to possible different aspect ratios.

The image aspect ratios for the first and second channels can differ significantly.
For example, the first channel is 16:9, while the second is 4:3.
This creates a number of problems:

• For example, when executing the thumbnail_onmouseover() function, the aspect ratio is calculated based on the size of the "thumb," which in turn is calculated based on the aspect ratio of the first channel. As a result, when using a player other than MJPEG, the image will be cropped.
• Or, if events are recorded from the second channel, the aspect ratio will also be distorted.

Perhaps in both cases mentioned above, it's possible to avoid introducing an additional resolution for the second channel?
And it seems to me that the best option would be to automatically obtain the camera's resolution rather than manually set it.

I suggest we discuss this.

I have been working to remove the requirement to specify dimensions at all. Which does create some problems but they are not insurmountable.. In general we can't specify both dimensions for thumbnails etc unless both dimensions are specified.

Of course. But when selecting a specific channel, the dimensions specified for that channel could have been used.
In general, the first problem turned out to be easily solved.
The second problem still remains.
