Hello all.
I switched from Reolink to Dahua recenctly and I'm going through the configuration options that Dahua has. Some terminology is a little different which is sometimes confusing, but the current issue I am trying to solve is the post-event recording duration. I want my camera to only record when there is an event (when a car drives by my house). I think I found the pre-event recording period under Storage -> Record Control -> Pre-event Record, and I set that to 3 (seconds). But I can't find the post-event setting. Currently the camera will record a video clip starting approx. 3 seconds before the car drives into view, but will then keep recording for additional 40 seconds after the car leaves the frame, making the clip about 50 seconds long. This seems like an awful waste of SD card space considering the car exited the camera view at around 10 second mark. Is there a way to make the camera stop recording for example 5 seconds after the car went by ?
Camera is Dahua IPC-HFW1435S-W-S2 (specs)
System Version: V2.680.0000000.28.R, Build Date: 2021-09-11
