Model: TC41  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.3

Since the last firmware update, the minimum duration of SD card recordings has been extended from 13 to 62 seconds.  This is a lot of "nothing" to watch after an event.

 

I see from another post that this has been done before.

Why does the time need to be so long?  Could it be made a user-configured parameter?

Same Issue.

 

Initial firmware 241111 had a long duration - at least 60 seconds.additional time - this was identified as a problem.

This was fixed with firmware 240927 - about 12 seconds additional time - good outcome.   

Now with firmware 250228 we are back to 60+ seconds - what's going on?

 

Why have things suddenly  gone backwards in efficiency?

The amount of time and storage wasted recording nothing of interest is seriously bad.

This includes older clips being written over way too early.

 

Can we, please, go back to firmware 240927 until a proper fix is available ?

 

This is really not a 'feature request' it is a request to reinstate a feature that was previously provided

but has now been removed for no apparent reason.
