Record time

Post by Keepinganeyeonthings »

All I'm trying to do is when it triggers a camera to record for more than 30 second? Also, when I hit manually record I need it to record for two minutes not 30 seconds.

It is not super intuitive, as this setting is not on the Recording tab. It is in the Trigger tab:

Timers
The Break time is simply the duration of the triggered state. If there is no additional
triggering during the break time, the trigger state will expire and recording will stop (unless
otherwise configured on the Record page).
If an additional trigger occurs while the camera is already triggered, this is called a re-trigger,
and the break timer is reset. The triggered state (and associated recording etc.) always
continue for this period of time beyond the most recent trigger event.
An overall maximum trigger time is configurable. You may defeat this with a value of ‘0’.
Like the Alert page setting for new and re-triggers, this option provides another method to “re-
alert” for continuing motion or other triggers. However it also forces the trigger to end,
which may affect recording file cuts and other “on trigger” events.

The duration of a manual trigger recording can be adjusted is in the global settings, Cameras tab, "Limit manual recording time" setting.
