Vigi NVR keeps recording although motion event ended hours ago
Recently I got my hands on a Vigi NVR 1008H which I connected to 6 TAPO cameras model C320WS. All channels are set to Event recording and NOT to continuous recording. I had multiple occasions when an event is triggered (motion) the NVR forgot to stop recording and continued to do so hours after that. It happened in the past few days to 2 of the cameras. Below you can see a comparison from TAPO app for a specific event and how it looks in Vigi app. In TAPO app the event was a with a duration of a minute or so and then another one 4 minutes later. After that there was no motion at all. But VIGI continued recording for more than 4 hours.
What could be causing this? For sure it is not a false-positive or any other causes like lights, reflections, etc. since the camera itself did not detect anything and also the area for detection is set so to avoid any unwanted causes for events (see later in this thread some settings for this specific channel).
When there is a continuous "event" it can mask a real event, which is a security risk if you rely only on the VIGI NVR and not using the TAPO app to watch recording on the microSD card in the camera.
Some settings below. Just to say that I set 15 seconds of delay for recording after the event ended.
