Stored video length

Post by FredZ »

Hello all

I am attempting to set the stored video length on my system to say 15 minutes (like shinobi does).
Only 2 3mp cameras.
No motion detect, just 24/7 record.
I've set storage to encode|h265/hvec|auto in an attempt to reduce file storage.

I can't seem to get the stored files to go past 300 frames regardless of the misc|section length settings.

I delieve all other settings are default.

Debian install (the ninja way)
v1.36.32

Any advice would be most helpful.

Regards

Fred

Is Options->Config->EVENT_CLOSE_MODE set to time?

It was set to idle so I changed it to time and restarted the server.

Done some testing for several hours and it appears there is no change.

It seems to be recording 300 frames for a duration of 22 seconds.

Misc|Section length & Minimum section length are set to 600

Regards

OK.
Set to mocord and turn analysis off.
That should do it. If you want playback, you'll probably also need to set the cams to h264.
