822a continuous record

[A Former User]

Quick question . If I setup continuous record in the Reolink phone app and go to playback, why do I get multiple videos? Are they contiguous? I had assumed it would be one long video on a timeline. I do t have an nvr I’m just testing the camera to see if I like it before I invest. I’m using an Sd card to record.

thanks

Yes they are continuous. By default they are 5 min long. High resolution recording results in GB file if the duration is high and so it will be difficult to download it to a PC.

ok that makes some sense. Are the continuous recordings broken up on the nvr as well? Like I said I had assumed it would be 1 long video I could scroll through to see what happened throughout the day. Not have to click on a bunch of different videos that are each roughly 5 minutes long.

is there a way to tell if an event occurred with continuous recording? Person pet car detected etc?

thanks for your time

@user_634949406437417_634949406437417 This is mainly shown when there is an event trigger. You won't see in case of continuous recording. As for the NVR I cannot answer you as I don't have it yet. All my cams are on SD and one on the cloud for testing.
