I'm not running substreams. Most of the cameras (ACTi) are too old to have it. All cameras at 30fps. Part of the reason for not runninc substreams is thatr motion detection isn't 100$ reliable, and I like to be able to go back to a specific time and replay.
You can still record the main stream while using substream for display and MD. With most newer cameras you can also have a substream that is 1 or two Megapixels which would allow to have decent constant recording and allow you to keep recordings longer. You can set the MD to be very sensitive and should not miss any event you want at full res.
