Multiple Storage Destinations
Is there any way to set multiple capture destinations per camera?
For example, for any given camera, i would like to set Motion capture videos to go to one drive, and Continuous videos to go to another.
This allows the Continuous drive to be cleared out when free space is needed, which gives me around 3 weeks of continuous footage, and yet the Motion drive (which is filling up much slower due to lower use) to retain Motion videos for many many months/years.
Is this possible? In the past i have only achieved by duplicating devices but this creates a lot of processor overhead with 12 (becoming 24) devices in the system.
Thanks

If it won't be done quickly in the app itself, it could be done with a script to move/copy the motion files to another drive.
The Continuous capture files are labeled with a " C " - should make it fairly easy to pattern match all other files to then process.
(a second script may be needed eventually to monitor the free space on the 2nd drive to clean up old files if needed - there should be examples of this type of script out on google) -
I would like to see an option for iCloud drive, dropbox etc… Basically a folder destination instead of FTP. Fewer and fewer people will have/need FTP access, but still require remote archiving of motion and JPEG's. This is in addition to any hardwired drives.
