This is a super helpful response, thank you! What is the process for actually cloning the camera? and not doing Rob/The Hookup's method (creating the 2nd stream of cameras)? I'm powering through the thread but it is slow going, i'm only on page 62/147. I've so far seen a screenshot of a radio button to mark "Master Clone" or something to that affect, but nothing about the process of actually cloning (but I assume it's during setup?). I assume I should backup BI first before deleting the low res cameras (or maybe start from scratch)? any advice would be most welcome.
One question i've seen discussed is the max optimal size of the jpeg to analyze. Someone int he 50's of the thread thought 720p was the optimal size, and thought 4k would take too long to process without any added benefit over 720p, any takes on that?
If I understand your method correctly, You are still creating (and hiding) cloned cams, but they are identical resolution (i.e. in my case, 4k). In the end, blue iris will record 24/7 on the 4k "main" stream and flag all events (what clip size do you set here? 8hr? 1hr? and I assume you save ALL footage for a day?) and then on the cloned stream you will record all these motion events for "longer" term storage. is that right?
