Is there a way to have "motion detection" auto disengage rather than using a timer to re-engage?

I am recordng a moderate traffic area. My concern is that sometimes there may be activity I want to record that lasts 20 seconds. Other times, it may last 120 seconds. Is there a way to record "only as long as there was activity" rather than recording on a set time frame each time the motion sensors are activated?

No... it will detect motion and record for the time specifed.

But if motion occurs again it can keep going/record again for the time

I can walk out into the yard and the cam will pick me up for ten (10) seconds and then appears to give up on me. 🙂

I'm wondering if you know the "recovery" time from the end of one event to the beginning of another?

I don't mind if a recording is in pieces.

I think I am missing some contuinuity, though.

Thank you.

It depends on the motion detection. As you move in and out of range, motion may not be detected. It may help to increase sensitivity but it'll be a trial and error process.
