Hi, i've searched the threads but have not been able to find an answer. Every time there is an event that should be continuous, it gets' broken into several short events, each consisting of 30-100 frames or so. I think the longest event i have is about 114 frames.

I have about 10 IP cams running and all have the same issue. Panasonic and Trendnet cams.

i tried setting EVENT_CLOSE_MODE from idle to alarm, no change

also tried changing the buffers from
Image Buffer Size (frames) 40 to 40
Warmup Frames 25 to 25
Pre Event Image Count 10 to 25
Post Event Image Count 10 same
Stream Replay Image Buffer 1000 same
Alarm Frame Count 1 same

and no help.

ANy insight or help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Set the Post Event Image Count to 10 seconds (fps * 10; as in 10 fps times 10 seconds gives a value of 100). This will cure your problem.

Thanks BB99. my Post event image count is set to 10. when i posted 10 same i meant i did not change the values. Any other ideas? After your post i increased it to 20 but i did not see an improvement. Thanks.

So after BB99s suggestion, I increased the Post Event Image Count to 30 and that definitely made a difference. Problem solved. Thank you.
