hi
is there any way to make captured images compressed or something?
because now when i set maximum fps to 10 one minute takes about
9MB from the disk space...

sorry if this question is stupid but i am really short of disk space on my home server so i need to solve this problem somehow....

thank You for any help

Captured images are jpeg files so they are compressed. You can increase the compression factor (and this reduce the quality) by going to Options->Config and changing ZM_JPEG_FILE_QUALITY to a lower value. You can also use 'Frame Skip' in the monitor settings to only save one frame in every n.
