Live viewing terminates motion based recording?

lumpyheatpad — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 20:49:22 GMT

Is anyone else having a problem when live viewing where starting the live view stops the motion based recording? I used to do a live view when I got a motion notification and the recording would still be full length, eg, 120 seconds. After the update, I've noticed the recording stops at the moment I start the live view. I haven't tried it from the web app, only android and I haven't gotten scientific with it yet. Just wondering if anyone else has seen or noticed this.

I think you just got lucky. AFAIK, live view has always interrupted recording. Might be wrong on this since I never tried viewing while recording.

The live viewing in my experience has always stopped the motion based recording.

I've used this method to stop recordings if I know that I don't want to keep it.

AFAIK this has been since day one and the update hasn't affected it.

Thanks for the input. I must have just never ran into the issue before then.
