Hey folks, been trolling the forums for awhile now. Through reading here and a couple other places I have things up and running fairly well. Current setup is 3 HIKVisions 3MP cameras and BlueIris running on a high end i7 proc.
I was trying to find a way to record 24/7 on the cameras to a NAS (Drobo) as well as record triggered clips to a cloud storage drive (Dropbox right now). On top of this I also have email alerts setup on a couple of the cameras. My thinking was that if someone is to take the computer/NAS at least some of the triggered data has been uploaded to a remote service hopefully before cords are pulled.
To achieve this the only way I could figure it out was to make duplicate cameras for each with a record when triggered to a different folder, with the original camera camera set to continuous. I set the camera's to hidden for the triggered record. They still showed up in the webstreams and the Android App. So I also had to go disable the webstream on each of these cameras as well.
All said I have things working right now but it seems pretty convoluted. Wondering if I missed something? Is there an easier option to record continuous and a separate record path for triggered events? Maybe my mindset just needs to be changed and I don't need two streams?
Things are working right now but I find it a to a bit of a pain everytime I want to make a change having to do it on two camera setups instead of one. Still learning here though.. So much to BlueIris I am trying to learn and understand.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
