I want to know if there is a way to save the original stream when there is an event instead of reencoding it? If I were using a camera directly connected through V4L, then I would want to encode the video for storage. With IP cams, the stream is already in h264 or h265 in most cases and I would want to preserve that.

If there isn't a way to do this currently, would you be open to the addition of the feature? I could work on it once the other PR gets merged.
