Record at different resolutions?

Can the Reolink NVR be setup to record continuously at one resolution, and change that recording resolution based on a motion event? OR .. Can it record the substream continuously and then record the main stream on a motion event?

Also,

Can you set different retention policies on recording types. IE - Keep motion flagged events longer than continuous recordings?

Just trying to think of ways to limit storage space, but yet not rely 100% on motion based recording...

Thanks,
Bryan

Hi bryancx94

It is not available to record continuously at one resolution and record motion at another so far.

And I understand your request, but to save storage, there are 4 ways currently:

1, lower encode bitrate of main stream;

2, schedule your recording - record only when it is important and necessary for you.;

3, enable overwrite - replace oldest recordings in NVR by putting new new ones over it;

4, use eSATA on NVR to add an HDD (4TB maximum) for more storage space.

5 years later. Just want to follow up on this feature and if it is now available. Is it possible to record the substream continuously and then record the main stream on a motion event?

I'm coming from BlueIris and have the same question. Can the Reolink NVR or internal SD card use sub-stream for continuous recording and on motion switch to main stream? I'm currently using a CX810 but willing to purchase another Reolink camera if it includes that feature.
