Is there any way to disable a camera base on a particular profile? For example, I'd like to have a profile I can assign to various cameras that ideally would have them in a disabled state but then when one camera that is in an Active state senses motion it would cause the others to switch over to an Active profile state and start recording. If this were possible I could keep my system resources to a minimum while one camera is in Active mode but once an event happens all the cameras designated come alive and start doing their thing for some predetermined time and then go back to a disabled mode until the next event happens.
The main reason I want to do this is because I've got 6 Dahua 3mp cameras that use a lot of system CPU resources. I've taken the advice here on the forum about lowering settings and have taken them from eating around 75% of my CPU all the way down to around 25% by lowering frame rates, direct to disk recording, bit rate reductions, but I have to say that I really like the quality of full 30fps with high bit rate. I'd be willing to use more system resources for short periods of time if I could control them in the manner mentioned above.
