Motioneye: Low Res Stream for motion detection - Hi Res Stream for recording ?

[ZackSc0tt]

Hey there.

I wonder if there is any possibility to set up a low resolution stream for motion to detect motion in the stream and then record the videos from the high resolution stream? My Network Cams all have at least 2 Streams. One for Hi Res 720P one for low res.

All because i want to get rid of this high cpu usage of the motion daemon.
Would be nice if a function would be implemented to do so.
Or does anybody have a workaround through the config files?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, that's easy to do: if you use the latest version of motion (I believe 4.1 or newer), it supports the netcam_highres option. See the motion documentation.
In the camera configuration in motioneye, under the "Extra motion Options", enter an option such as

netcam_highres rtsp://192.168.x.y:554/Streaming/Channels/101
