Does anyone know of a way to have BI record a continuous time lapse clip until the camera is triggered and then switch to normal speed? Since the object and motion tracking sometimes doesn't trigger unless I set it so high that I get lots of false triggers, I would rather reduce the trigger sensitivity and just record continuous time lapse between triggers. I would like these recordings to use a little storage space as possible while still providing usable video.
I have seen recommendations to clone a camera and set it to just record continuous time lapse, but this would double the number of cameras and make it harder to navigate through the clips - in order to watch a continuous 24 hour period I would have to flip back and forth between the cameras and match up the times. What I want to achieve is a single camera with a series of clips - full motion clips for the time periods that the camera was triggered and time lapse clips for all the intervening time periods.
I have tried the "triggered +continuous each" video mode set to "0:05 min (5 seconds) for 0.0" , and it produces something close to what I'm going for, but not quite. When there's no motion, I get a video clip showing one still every 5 seconds, but when I play it back it runs in real time, meaning 8 hours of video still takes 8 hours to play back (unless I manually speed up the playback) but most importantly, it doesn't seem to reduce the file size at all - that is, 8 hours of still frames appears to require the same amount of storage as an 8 hour recording at full speed. Is there anything similar to that recording mode that is more like "triggered + continuous timelapse"?
