I'm on 1.30.0. I'm pretty sure I didn't specifically ask.

Thanks for the pointer. This bit is confusing me though: "Archiving an event means that it is kept to one side and not displayed in the normal event listings unless you specifically ask to view the archived events. This is useful for keeping events that you think may be important or just wish to ...

Should probably be called "flagged" or "marked" or something then. The "archive" functionality of, say, gmail and many other systems implies that you are moving items out of a working area into some secondary long-term storage. Thanks for the explanation, though. It would be helpful for there to be ...

1. What does it do? 2. What is the purpose of doing that? Neither of these seem to be explained in the documentation, and experimenting with the function doesn't make it clear, either. I usually review my footage each day using zmNinja's excellent "Event Montage" view. Normally there's nothing ...

It's unclear why; I have some preclusive zones that might be kicking in, or it might be that my parameter settings for ...

While that's a possibility, I would prefer a solution that doesn't load the machine at the same time it's trying to record a high fidelity image, just to have the results thrown away.

Is there no way to actually not do the recording?

In order to help manage CPU load, I've set up each camera with two monitors, one high resolution and framerate on the main stream, set to "nodect" and one low resolution, lower frame rate set to "modect" on the secondary stream from the same camera. I do motion detection on the secondary, low-res ...
