Configurable Time for Recording length following Detection of Movement or Person (C510W)
It would be useful to have the length of time the camera records after a detection configurable.
At the moment if a car drives into my driveway the camera will record the event and follow the car away from the camera's "home" position.
If the car sits in another part of my property for several minutes the camera will no longer detect movement and return to its home position.
At this point the car and person in it are outside the field of view because the camera has already stopped recording and returned to its home position.
So that I can see if said person exits the car and then smashes in my front door, I would like to be able to capture such an event. This could be achieved by allowing me to configure the length of time the camera records after the initial detection without the camera returning to the home position.
So, to achieve this two things are required:-
1. The time for continued recording after a movement detection should be able to be configured.
2. If the time above is configured then the camera should stay in the same position (unless it's tracking movement away from the current field of view) for this length of time without returning to the home positon.

@AABBCC_CCBBAA Makes me nervy about further update, and I may just give a swerve in future.

Hi All,
I have been in direct communication with support about this issue. I won't paste the whole sage, but to summarise I paste the last correspondence below.
They have released to me a firmware fix which will fix the short recording issue. This fix will he incorporated in the next 1.3.2 release.
I suggest that if you need this fix urgently that you log a ticket with support.forum@tp-link.com.
I have continued to push for a configurable time period, but ironically they shortened the record time for the benefit of those using Hub. I pointed out that this affects all users, the majority of which do not use Hub.
--- From Support---
Currently, your firmware version 1.3.1 Build 250103 Rel.63715n is a special version. The upcoming release of 1.3.2 will include the current solutions. We have received your suggestion, but we will need to consider its implementation in future versions. Thank you for your understanding.

Thanks for the reply and information. It is appreciated. It is annoying having to put up with a camera that cuts off before the action ends, so I may ask them for support. Is it a pain to do?
Thanks again.
