Continous and triggered recording - clone camera or second BI?

[Jan Werbinski]

I want to have triggered and continous recording from each camera.
For tests I did two almost identical BI installations on two PC. One with triggered, and second with continous recording.

What is the cost of using two BI servers vs clone camera on one? Does streaming to two servers make cameras CPU work harder?
Is there twice as much data on the network or is it just broadcasting the same amount via UDP?

How much CPU use increase can I expect using duplicate and triggered recording for each camera on the same server?
How it should be done if one has already two PC and licences?

I'm not sure how you want yours set up. I record continuous and have alerts set too, no clones involved. The clips are there for continuous recordings and the alerts are just shortcuts or bookmarks to where something moved in the clips.

I want to automatically delete continous recordings after short time and keep triggered recordings longer. I didn't find any way to do in on one machine, but it's simple on two.
