Any motion that triggers a camera to start recording.
As and example if someone were to walk across the field of view of the camera, all that gets recorded is from a half second before they enter the frame through maybe 1/3 of the field of view. Then the recording ends.
Do you have any activity zones set?
Nope…none.
Hmm, very strange
Yeah. It’s been frustrating. It worked fine for the first couple weeks, but it’s been like this ever since.
Maybe try restarting your home hubs
I have done that as well but hasn’t helped.
How long are your recordings? Is it usually just a car pulling up for example? Or is it people standing outside talking for 5m?
They cut out after about 10 seconds. Usually whatever triggered the motion detection is still in the middle of the frame.
Well in that case I'm not really sure what else to say. Sorry mate!
That was basically the conclusion I came to.
I can only hope possibly removing and re-adding the cameras to the Home helps when I have the chance (or God forbid - deleting and recreating the entire Home 🫣)
Thanks.
