Feature Request: Separated Storages / retention times per camera / stream
btk999 opened this issue · comments
Hi,
it would be very nice to be able to set individual storages and retention timesper camera and stream.
High resolution streams could be stored on a big but slowHDD, low resolution streams (for scrubbing/scrolling in the nvr timeline) could be stored on a small but fast ssd so.
That might be helpful to increase the access times while scrolling to the timeline - i observed some lags / delays on reading the low resolution streams (which i think is normal for a HDD that has to handle constant writes with 10mb/s (10x 4k cameras).
Also it would be nice to set longer retention times on more relevant cameras in a setup.
It could even make sense to set longer retention times for recordings with motion events (e.g. keep everything with motion 30 days, everything without motion deleted after 10 days).
Maybe its even possible to implement a kind of "archiving" mode - so that at first everything is written to a SSD storage and after some days everything (or just the recordings without motion events) is moved to a different storage (HDD).
Just some thoughts :)
i found a workaround for me for the most important topic (record low res streams on ssd, high res streams on HDD)
On Windows i created softlinks (mklink /D ; not symbolic links) which redirects the streams to a ssd.
i get an error on the nvr plugin startup ("mkdir failed", i guess the plugin checks if the dir exists - it does not so it tries to create the folder but it cant because there can not be a folder with the same name of a symbolic link) but recording / playback works fine.

Yep, this is exactly what I want to make possible. Closing this issue as duplicate, as we're discussing this as an exact improvement in another issue.
