Multiple Storage locations possible?

If I'm understanding correctly, you want two different locations for the same camera: one for movies and the other for images? That's not a built-in feature: all files for a particular camera will be saved to the one location that has been set for that camera.
One solution here would be to create an AppleScript called ProcessCapturedFile that moves the files to the right place. Use Script Editor to create the script, and save it to ~/SecuritySpy (i.e. the SecuritySpy folder within your Home folder). Upon completion of any file, SecuritySpy will invoke this script. The following should do it, which you can copy-paste into Script Editor:
property dstPath : "/Path/To/Dst" on run args set cameraNum to item 1 of args set cameraName to item 2 of args set filePath to item 3 of args if filePath ends with ".jpg" then do shell script "mv " & quoted form of filePath & " " & quoted form of dstPath end if end run
The items cameraNum and cameraName are unused here but I've left them in, in case you want to use them for something.

ok that might work, thanks Ben. To be clear the snapshot cameras are different than the continuous recording cameras. The continuous cameras monitor the house. the snapshot camera is a game camera out in the pasture that ill use to count wildlife.

In that case it's even easier - you don't have to use a script - simply set each camera to record to the required destination using the camera-specific storage location setting under Settings > Cameras > Setup.

should have read the manual, sorry 😅
