How to increase Alert videos length?

[ltek]

I want the Alert clips (left-side menu 'Alerts' videos) to be up to 3 mins long.

But the Alert recordings are only about 1 second long... What am I missing?

My current settings...

-Trigger-

Break Time End : 60s

Break Time Max : 180s

-Record-

Continuous sub + Triggered

Pre-trigger record : 1s

Pre-trigger playback : 2s

TIA!!!

Probably good idea to post screenshots of your: record, trigger and alert pages.

Unless I am mistaken, the alert recording only lasts while there is motion. When you set the "unless re-triggered" to 60 seconds you are limiting the alert time. I have mine set for 10 seconds (I think that is the default). You might also try setting New triggers and re-triggers on the alert page. If you have plenty of storage, you could also set record for continuous, this gives you recording at main stream, so the alerts are just markers.

Perhaps others more expert than me will chime in.
