With
BI update 5.4.4, a new feature has been added that results in significant savings in storage. When the triggered+continuous record mode is used with a dual-streaming camera along with direct-to-disc, the result is a BVR file which will contain the sub-stream continuously recorded, but the main-stream only recorded when the camera is in a triggered state. During main-stream playback, the sub-stream will be upsampled whenever the main-stream is not available.
I tested this with one camera overnight to see how it works.
Previously, I would get about 1 hour at 3.90GB with the camera recording 24/7.
With this new feature, I got 1 hour at 120MB.
That is a tremendous savings!
As always YMMV. Obviously bitrate and FPS come into play, but it is yet another feature that can allow for higher resolutions with less storage needs.
However, now I noticed that clearly obvious AI in the daytime that wasn't missed previously like a delivery person was missed.
So I wanted to see if anyone caught this new storage savings update and if so, did you notice Deepstack now missing what it caught previously.
