Ability to specify multiple storage locations #6557

Open GrinchUA opened 1 year ago

I would like to be able to use multiple ways to store records. It will be useful when there are several disks on the device.

It would also be nice to be able to change the storage location for each camera.

We should probably just adjust the storage folders so camera is at the top level so this can be done with docker mounts easily.

That would be perfect to distribute the recordings over multiple SSDs (for example: multiple external USB drives) in a mini PC. Please do so. 👍

This would greatly improve speed and usability when having several cameras with lots of activity.

Keep running into sporadic 'dropped segments' despite disks/raid and hardware seemingly being up to the task. This may help. Could a separate record maintainer be run for each storage area as well?

it's very unlikely if your hardware is up to the task for it to be anything directly related to the recordings maintainer. That error can happen for any number of different reasons
