Motion Recording Question for a New User

[kmccb]

I'm confused on how to setup the recording.. Basically what I want is for when motion is detected, record for at least 15 seconds.. With the setup I have below when the motion triggers it only records for 15 seconds and then stops, even if there is still motion..

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum. Set it to triggered NOT triggered + continuous.
Then in the motion tab set break time to 15

Thanks for the reply.. So the following settings will do the following?

* Not record anything by default.
* When motion is detected, it will record for a minimum of 15 seconds.
* During that time, if motion is detected again, it will continually record one continuous stream until no motion is detected for at least 15 seconds.

Thanks again

Yes.
You should increase your pretrigger frames to at least double your frame rate.
