Ability to modify light duration for motion detection even when camera is set to record

[BMOC_CB]

Currently I am only able to adjust the light duration for motion detection if recording is not also set to trigger.  Would be nice to have the option to modify the light duration even if recording is set to take place.  For example, the unit picks up motion and records video for about 25 seconds.  I would like to have the ability to set the flood light to keep the light on for 1 minute.

I agree, The most obvious option doesn’t exist, which would be to give you the option of having the light stay on for longer than 2 minutes when it is triggered by motion. You should be able to set the light to stay on for at least 5 minutes when it is turned on by motion. That feature doesn’t exist. It should be available and is a flaw in terms of understanding what consumers want.

Why wouldn’t it be available is a flaw in terms of understanding what consumers want. Just having the light stay on only during recording defeats the purpose of having a light. I want the light to stay on for 10 minutes after recording. That way an intruder knows someone is still watching.
