Trigger Tab FTP question

[105437]

I'd like to FTP a Hi-Res image using the "Immediate Actions" on the Trigger Tab. After setting it up, I'm only getting a Lo-Res image. Is there a way to adjust this? Thanks!

If you are recording continuous + trigger (the option where is saves substream until motion and then saves mainstream), or only when triggered and are utilizing the substreams, make sure that the pre-trigger time is longer than the iframe interval.

So if you look at camera status in BI, it shows a KEY number. If the number is 1.00, then you need to make the pretrigger at least 1 second or it will be pulling from the substream. I would make it 1.5 to 2 seconds to be safe.

If your KEY is anything but 1.00, then go into the camera gui setting itself (not in BI), and make the FPS and iframes the same. Most of us use 15FPS and 15 iframes.

If your camera doesn't allow you to set iframes, then you need a larger pre-trigger. The smaller the KEY number is, the longer the pre-buffer. 0.25 would be at least 4 seconds as an example.

Thanks @wittaj, I'm not recording continuous but all my keyframes are 1.00.

Same applies though if you are running substreams regarding the pre-trigger buffer.

Pre-trigger is set to 3 seconds.

OK - try the Record tab and tell it to save a jpeg and specify a higher % quality.

I don't see FTP as an option. Using the Record Tab, I would get Alert images only and not all trigger images... right?
