I'm testing things out, and with the camera I have, the mp4 passthrough video recording works great. I'd love to reduce disk usage by only saving the video file, at least for long-term.

But even with video capture enabled, all the capture.jpg files are still created.

Several questions:
- which image files are necessary for zoneminder UI and zmNinja to browse and watch events? Do they need the capture jpegs? or can they use the video?
- is there an option to not save the capture jpegs at all?
- Is there an option to delete the capture jpegs (but keep the video! and maybe thumbnails?) as part of a filter?

Just video is enough.

Monitor config - Storage - save jpegs. Read the docs: zoneminder.readthedocs.io

Awesome, thanks!
