Hello,
I hope it is ok to post here, asking for some support by the forum?

I am having a bit of difficulty to set up my Dahua/Empiretech cam's (IPC-T5442TM-AS, IPC-HDW5442TM-AS), in order to record IVS events properly.

Current status:
  • Cameras equipped with SD-Cards.
  • No NVR or other external recoding yet.
  • Smart Plan set up (IVS selected)
  • IVS set up (intrusion zone defined, etc - see picture attached)
  • Events are being recognized and are being captured - BUT only for less than 20sec. approx.

Expectation:
- Recording as long as event is valid (meaning, if I stay in intrusion zone for 1 minute, recoding should be of same length. If I stay in intrusion zone for 2hrs, recording should be two hours)

Is my expectation achievable at all? If so, how to / what to change in settings?

Any advise is welcome.

Apologies for my poor english.

Cheers from Germany

It will only record up to 300 seconds (5minutes) but will be less if no movement.

You would need to record continuously and that is not advised with just SD card as it will end up causing all kinds of issues.

Buy a Recorder. Even a cheap one with Poe.

@wittaj and @Chokolinho - Thanks for the fast responses.

The limitation on recording to SD-Card is arbitrarily chosen by Dahua, or is there any technical explanation? From marekting perspective I can understand, though...

Will be glad to consider any additional advises or hints.
