  • Supports full time recording
  • Supports motion events
  • Supports smart detection
  • Notes:
    • Camera configuration:
      • Video codec must be H.264 (H.265/HEVC is not supported).
      • Audio codec should be AAC. If not, adjust the ffmpeg args to re-encode to AAC.
      • Ensure the sub stream is enabled.
      • If desired, ensure motion detection is enabled with the desired anti-dither and detection area.
    • The -bsf:v parameter is needed to make live video work. The first tick_rate value should be fps * 2000. See this comment.
