When a cam is triggered and if I pause the recording = 1 second recording at the very end of pause in latest BI updates

Post by btb604 »

Running the latest version 5.9.9.29 and update before also did this. So I rolled back to 5.9.85 and has zero issues.
Then I seen the current update where you can add weather info on a camera so I had to have that. Love it, thanks.
Bug or some new setting?

Your description is a bit confusing (for me anyway). Can you explain in more detail?

Say a cam is tripped. When the action is over, I'll right click the cam and hit pause to keep the the recording short. I have all the cams set a little long-winded to capture all as needed for my situations.
If I manually record and then hit pause (resume end pause), it works as it should.
So now, after the update, when I hit pause to stop the cam recording. You play the clip is as long as it should be but it's only the last frame of the recording, all the stuff you wanted record of is now gone.

Maybe I'm not using as it was purposed. Just a habit I've used for a decade. I have BI up and sitting next to me 12 hrs plus keeping an eye out on 12 cams. Sometimes things go down outside of the trigger zone and I take over.

Sounds like a bug - if it started after the update. Send BI support a message.

Is this camera Continuous or When-Triggered?

You can also use the ''Maximum trigger/alert duration' option in the Trigger tab, to limit the length of triggered alerts.

If you are running the new version of BI5, see BI5 settings/ Location. You will need an API key from OpenWeatherMap.org

Hopefully btb604 can tell you how to set it up 8-)
