Switching to the main stream pre buffer would be quite difficult to do wouldn’t it? As BI would also need to be tracking the main stream all the time in case an alert condition is raised?
Read post #16 in this thread:So I thought I have my camera set up correctly. It shows both main stream and sub stream in the General tab, I do not have "triggered+continuous" as an option for recording. I do have "continuous+alerts"
I do have "record dual-streams if available" checked.
What do I have wrong?
Thank you. Being new to all of this I just assumed I'd made a mistake somewhere.Read post #16 in this thread:
The heading also changed from triggered+continuous record mode to triggered+alerts record mode, so now it appears to be going thru DeepStack to get the alert back before changing.
Ken always surprises us with magic, so if it can be done, he can do it!, Before this feature, it was always recording mainstream, so there is probably a way - now if it is worth that effort is another story. I am guessing it would have to maybe be recording mainstream on a loop like say 30 seconds maybe, or maybe can figure out a way to do it within the buffer MB in the setting.Switching to the main stream pre buffer would be quite difficult to do wouldn’t it?

Just updated to the issue just released. Now it is taking longer to go to mainstream LOL.And that wouldn't save as much disk space, recording the clone at full, albeit reduced, res 24/7 plus the main for alerts. I'm also getting "funky" behavior like a clip that should last 10 or 15 seconds and only plays a few seconds all at low res. I'll have a look at settings for those cameras, but I'm pretty sure they're all the same. What's odd is that it happens on a 5231T-Z most often. At this point I'm thinking about switching back to full time, full res but I'll wait a bit and see what Ken can come up with.
Double check both your main-stream and sub-stream are using the same compression settings i.e both h.264 or h.265. I had the same problem on one of my cams whereby it would trigger and then stop after a few seconds, failing to switch to the main stream. On the wild hunt for a reason, I realised in the camera config I had main-stream set to h.265 but sub-stream on h.264. Worked perfectly since!And that wouldn't save as much disk space, recording the clone at full, albeit reduced, res 24/7 plus the main for alerts.

The 5.4.5 update now switches to mainstream before the motion occurs!!!Switching to the main stream pre buffer would be quite difficult to do wouldn’t it? As BI would also need to be tracking the main stream all the time in case an alert condition is raised?
Looking forward to hearing how this works!The 5.4.5 update now switches to mainstream before the motion occurs!!!
Of course this comes AFTER I got more storageFunny how fast we get used to having all that additional storage available, isn't it
Continuous+Alerts will record substream until a confirmed AI alert is indicated and then will record mainstream for the duration of the trigger.What's the difference between Alerts+Continuous vs Triggered+Continuous?
