Number of continuous recordings

Post by doms »

Hi,

I seach within interface (moniotor and config options), the Web, and the forum (but surely with the bad keywords...). I just added a camera with continuous recording. It works well but the number of recordings is limited to 60. How to increase this number please ? I want to increase the history I get from the the Monitor.

Thank you.

I don't use that function, but I'm not aware there is such a limit.

Hi,

Thank you, I was not aware of such limitation too but it seems that one option (maybe not directly link to this feature) make it working this way. I did not find which one. It is still limited to 60 captures. I mentionned that I have free space on the hard drive. Anyone has an idea of which option can make it this way?

Thank you for your help.

How long are they?

What happens, are the oldest ones deleted?

Have you created any filters or changed anything other than setting record?

Thank you for taking in account my question

The recordings are all 10 minutes (as defined in the monitor, 600 seconds). The videos are simply deleted. My filter remove videos olders than 3 days.

Best regards.

Have a look in the logs. I can’t believe it wouldn’t be mentioned there.

I think your filter is messed up. Deletes over 60 instead of three days. Try turning it off to see.
