When using ZM in modetect mode, my alarms don't end. I triggered an alarm about five minutes ago and my ZM is still dumping images into an event folder.

How do I fine tune this such that ZM stops capturing after X number of seconds have passed since the last detected motion?

id expect you have the monitor too sensitive. It will still thkink its in alarm

Are your monitors linked? If so you could be in a never ending alarm loop described in the documentation. Unlink the monitors and see if that helps.
