This past couple days I have had strings of longer recordings up to 5 minutes long. This has never happened before and most recordings have always been under 30 seconds. This isn't a bad thing if we have control over length and detection trigger down time but those do go hand in hand. Did something change?

Are you using a FIXED time to record or is the setting TILL MOTION STOPS ( which can go 5 mins or 300 secs )

All cameras are set to "until activity stops" which historically stops recording short of movement stopping resulting in lost footage and many here complain about. Now it seems some recordings are continuing long after all motion settles. Maybe the cameras are just picking up small background motion that they hadn't previously, but I do not recall noticing any videos,in the 2-5m range like I am now. Maybe I just missed them but unfortunately I can't go back prior to 11-30 to verify.
