Hello. We are using Kmotion, which as far as I have seen in our setup
stores static images (JPEG) every couple of seconds. I don't know many
details about it though, as our Physical Infrastructure team set it up
and manages it, but they are happy with it.
I think saving images as opposed to video was decided based on the cost
of the storage (over 60 cameras, too much data).
