Continuous recording with detection segments
-
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?
Thanks community. -

Do you have the AI filter button on your APP? On the bottom of the playback page, you can click to filter the alarm video. The circle icon means any motions. The other two are the person/vehicle.

@reolink-fiona Hi Fiona, yes I know of the detection filter. When I have alarm recording only, this works well. But my question is about continuous recording. During continuous recording, any alarm detection is only part of a 5:00 minute segment. I would prefer to see that the detection even is isolated to a shorter clip.

@tjbreen01_498691379241137 Here are some screenshots explaining my difficult with the Timer Recording & Alarm Recording in parallel.
Alarm recording, easy to find detection event and time.
When a detection event occurs during continuous recording, the Alarm is flagged on a full 5:00 segment. I do not see at what timestamp the detection occured, I will need to watch all 5:00 of the segment.
With the clip filter, during continuous recording, still it is shown as the full 5:00 clip.

@tomcrean
Thank you for your detailed explanation. I have understood your point.
At the same time, the SD card can just record one video. So the alarm video will be included in the 5:00 video.
For your feedback, I will forward it to our team to seek possibilities. -
@reolink-fiona Thank you for looking on it. Please do consider if it's possible to split the 5 minute video to a shorter clip at the alarm detection event.
