Is SecuritySpy smart about multiple instances of the same camera?
If I want to define the same physical camera as multiple different cameras inside SecuritySpy (to apply different settings and actions, such as using one "virtual camera" for motion detection triggered recording and another for continuous recording), is SecuritySpy able to detect this and pull one video stream over the network and then just fork the data stream on the Mac to apply the different processing profiles?
If it does this, than the overhead/tradeoff is only memory and cpu on the Mac, but not imposing a 2x or greater bandwidth load on the network itself.

Maybe you're using an earlier version of SecuritySpy, but in the latest 4.x version, you can enable and disable (and schedule) motion-capture and continuous-capture independently, so this is probably a better solution for you. Find out more about upgrading.
