Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

When recording to H200 hub using my C500 camera, the motion detection footage got prematurely cutoff. I missed the last 15 seconds of active motion. This happens regularly especially for long motion videos.

 

When I turn on continuous recording, I saw in the timeline that the motion detection portion prematurely ends even when moving objects or person are still moving within the view. Even the motion tracking of the camera is still active and pan-tilting but the camera doesn't register that as a detection event.

 

Also there's always around one second missing footage whenever detection event starts and detection event ends, in continuous recording mode.

 

My h200 hub is connected via ethernet to the router while my c500 camera is connected directly to the hub via wifi backup.
