Reason for not disabling frames and analysis images?

Post by krizzle »

Hello,
I l'm running ZM 1.36.29 and recently disabled both analysis images and frames and realized it's saving me a ton of storage. What are the reasons why I would want to keep them turned on? What extra information do the frames or amaysis images net me?
Thanks.

There is no good reason if your cam supports video.

With that said I have an old Foscam that I'm using that works better saving jpeg's at the low frame rate (5 FPS) I have set.

I turn it on when I am resolving a detection problem. It helps to see what was detected. Other than that I leave it off.
