For some reason I’m unable to immediately watch a replay of the video that has been recorded to the SD card in my camera . If I wait 30 mins it’s available..I’m guessing it’s got something to do with the Record Control option which I have set to 30mins but on my other Dahau camera I have the...

I'm just tweaking my BI email notifications, i've got it set up pretty much exactly how I want it...not too sensitive but not missing anything either...it doesn't go off when I turn on the kitchen light or outside light but I do annoyingly get one at sunrise 6:30am ..I'm guessing this is when...
