I have my camera configured to record to video and a snapshot, both to a local NAS, when an event happens.
The strange thing is, if I use an external program that uses the Dahua API to request a snapshot (GET /cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?channel=1), then this snapshot is not just transferred to the requesting program, but also a snapshot is stored on the NAS ?!
So, a command such as:
Will not only get the snapshot, but also have a snapshot stored on the NAS. This is not very good, as this gradually fills up the NAS, especially as the program I am using (openhab) is requesting a snapshot every 8 sec. (I talk with the openhab guys, if that behavior can be turned off somewhere).
My question is: Is this normal behavior that the API call also stores a snapshot on the local or NAS storage of the Dahua cam? Or is it some weird setting that I may have and don't know?
Thanks
Michael
