Continuous recording with detection segments

TomCrean

I've recently purchased the RLC-520a as an upgrade from my Amcrest camera. I've been playing around with the settings to find the right fit for my needs.

What I would like to have is the camera recoding continuously (5-minute clips), and for any detection alarm to be segmented into a shorter clip (30-45 seconds). The app filtering of detection events is ideal to work though this, to focus on the actual detection, but also have countinus recorded data available to seek if needed. This could mean storage of a series of clips of
e.g. 5:00 | 5:00 | 3:45* | 0:45** | 5:00 | 5:00
* Detection occured
** Detection clip (15s-pre + 30s-post)

If I enable alarm recording only, I do have the shorter detection clips I'm looking for, but obviously missing the continuous recording. This is my best option for now to see exactly what's happened, but not ideal.

If I enable timer recording and alarm recording, I do have the clips marked with detection, but the clips are all full 5-minute clips and it is difficult to determine the detection trigger event.

I could also have the SD card recording the detection clips, and timer recording going to an FTP, but this is not convenient to access the recording while I'm outside of the home.

Does anyone else have a similar need or solution, or is there some operation setting I have missed?
