MOCORD is not honouring section length

Post by h3ndr1k »

Hi! I'm pretty new to ZM and ran into a problem...
I created a monitor in MOCORD mode and set the section length to 900. I also put the EVENT_CLOSE_MODE option to time.
Somehow the events do not take more than 2 minutes but i expected them to be 15. also the event name i specified under MISC is not used.
I added a screenshot of my events.

Is there anything that i am forgetting/doing wrong?

Don't think so. Take a look at the camera by clicking on the events in the console.
I think you'll find there is no end time.
That suggests a problem with the camera dropping out. I just set one of mine from 300 to 900 and it went to the next quarter hour (22:13 later).
No end time immediately after you make a console change is normal, BTW.

Good luck with it.
