+You can use the main stream for recording while using the sub stream for streaming both at the same time in shinobi. This still hasn't worked for me and I've been trying to figure this one out ever since. If you know a solution let me know. I can't get split LQ stream and HQ recording right, for the life of me.

 ### RMTP FTP Motion Detection
-
 You can also designate motion detection to the cameras instead of shinobi to reduce load.

-ONE BIG GOTCHA... Do not use firmware v3.0.0.65_2007100 because FTP does not work on that firmware. Use firmware v2.0.0.647_20031401 (RLC-410-5MP_647_20031401.zip in this repo) which does work.

+ONE BIG GOTCHA... It took me a long time to figure out, but in order for FTP to work with Reolink Cameras. In your Reolink Client when setting up FTP there is an an option called Transport Mode. Make sure you select PORT instead of AUTO otherwise FTP won't work.
