I bought 2 new cameras to add to my system, and they seem like they are insane. They record almost constantly! I told them to only record on motion in my profile, but they still seem to record on audio. So, I think they are recording when the wind blows hard over the cameras. They are producing hundreds of videos, draining the battery within days.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Dower

dchincom,

 

Are you using a custom mode or the default "Armed" mode? Do you see the same behavior regardless of which you use?

At first, I was using the default Armed mode, but I created a new custom one and assigned the cameras to only record on motion. But I think it's still trigger on audio, because there are hundreds of videos from 2 of my new cameras. I don't see anything moving. But when I play back the video, I do hear the wind.

dchincom,

 

One way you can test is to bring the camera into a different more controlled environment (like an empty room) and see if you still experience the same behavior.
