Record time by event on mobotix camera

Hello Philippe,

yes this should work and produce a recording of total 70 sec in a normal case.

Let us check the precondition.
1.You are using the “embedded” camera recording to the Internal SD Card or to an Fileserver which you have setup in the Camera Admin menu! (i want clarify that you are not using any central VMS systems which handle the recording time independently from the camera settings!)
2. You defined in the Setup Dialog under Event Overview the VideoMotion as shown in the image with the 70 sec Event Deadtime of the VideoMotion:


3. You defined in the Setup dialog under Recording Settings , that the camera records only events triggered by VideoMotion (and nothing else trigger in addition the recording)! As shown in the both screenshots:

I assume you have setup other events in the camera which trigger in parallel the recording , properly every 10 sec. By Default you should seen in the Liveimage all activated Events in the camera at the lower left corner in the Image. Based on your description you should have only the ima or how ever you have called your VideoMotion profile.

In this screenshot we have:

  • UC == UserClick
  • AS2.0 == Activity Sensor
  • VideoMotion == VideoMotion

Important how you are playing the recorded video , with the Browser or our MxMC, to avoid that you only use the Browser Playback which cant play the full video!

Please check this points and provide for further question more infos about your environment, fW version and properly some screenshots!

I hope that helps
