Hi,
Recently purchased the 4MP IPC-HDBW4431R-AS and the quality is great.
I use Blue Iris on my computer to record 24/7 video, and to send motion alerts to my cell phone. The video here is great.
I don't want to fully rely on my server being up considering it is a 24/7 plex media server as well and has had issues in the past. For this reason I configured each camera on motion to record video and output it to FTP on a battery backed up Raspberry Pi which then uploads everything to Dropbox.
The issue I have is that no matter how I configure the video (VBR/CBR, lowered bitrate, etc..) it always outputs a .dav file that skips whole portions of time, it skips a full 5-10 seconds here and there. Here is a good example of what I mean Dropbox - 10.15.25-10.16.41[M][0@0][0]_20170119101527_20170119101641.avi you can see the issue from the timestamp where it just jumps ahead.
Here are settings for both motion detection and alerts
Does the 'Pack Duration' mean that every motion event within that time period gets logged into the same video stream and what I am seeing are all of the separate motion events within that 8 minute period? It almost seems that once the motion event occurs, it does the 5 seconds pre-event record, but only logs maybe 1-2 seconds of the motion event itself. I would prefer for it to log 10 seconds after the motion, but I can't see how to do that.
