Cascading Storage w/ Compression

Post by quball9 »

Hello, I'd like to archive video data in a cascading manner, where video is stored at high quality for some time, then reduced to a middle quality in a medium-term archive, and finally a very low quality in long-term storage.

Is this possible in BI?
Would it work like I'm imagining?
Can the archived files be searched within BI or would they have to be searched manually in a file-browser?

Would be great to store video for a very long time, with a decreasing quality the farther you look back in time.

If this does work, are there any recommended methods or specific settings that tend to work best? I'm sure it greatly depends on my specific goals, number of cameras, and storage space, but maybe there are some configuration tips which are always a good idea.

Thanks! Apologies if this is well-described somewhere. I'm happy to go read any available information. I tried searching but didn't find anything with the terms I thought would be relevant.
