TY Adam,
I will try to research your idea with ffmpeg - there may be a solution!
Meanwhile, I am using the Picture best option.

I don't do video at all. All of my motion is done with pictures takes
at 2-4 fps. The framerate is high enough that played back quickly it
will show you exactly what went on.
And the cheaper cams I have don't seem to have good network buffers so
often lose bytes here and there causing artifacts but with http+jpeg
that does not seem to be an issue. I believe the video streams are
using unreliable UDP vs the jpegs using TCP.
