Title says it all.
I have the cameras set to recorn on motion and not stop until motion stops. But instead of continuous recording for up to 300 seconds, the cameras only record for 9 seconds and then stop. And start a new recording moments later.
Anyone have a similar problem? Anyone know how to fix this?
(please do not suggest that I set up my own modes/rules. Ive already done that, and set the camera to the right setting, the setting simply doesnt work).

Engineering is investigating this issue. This feature is still under development at this time and users should select a predefined length for recording until this feature is officially released. We will be removing this feature until it is ready for release.

Since it's anew feature, there's been little testing and input. It does seem that there could be issues with it based on the few comments so far. However, it has to be asked - was the motion continuing in a manner which can be detected?

Huh? Can I ask, why a feature is added that hasn't been tested and proven to work ahead of release? What is it with security camera companies using their customers as BETA testers.
If there is a glitch or bug that understandibly snuck it's way thru a company's own testing, I get it. But there is no excuse for a feature not working at all.
And to your second point, yes, of course the motion continues longer than 9 seconds. Otherwise I wouldn't be here bringing up the issue. And, like I mentioned in my first post, the canera wouldn't immediately start recording another 9 second clip if the motion wasn't continuing.
QUESTION: since this feature is "new and hasn't been tested" can I just set the cameras to record for fixed time, and if so, will it always record for 120 seconds or will it stop early if the motion stops?

It looks like it always records for the previously set time limit minus one second. When I had 20 seconds and discovered this new setting, I started to get recordings 19 seconds long. Then I changed the fixed time to 30 seconds and then switched back to "record until motion stops" and now I'm getting 29 seconds recordings.
To me it seems like the feature was enabled in UI, but the firmware update supporting this functionality has not been pushed to the cameras/base station yet.
Anyway it would be good to hear official Netgear comment on that.

Very interesting observation.
This is what I was hoping for. Some users that have experienced this issue and noted some work arounds.
But again, this is VERY frustrating that a company would release a feature that they damn well know doesn't work. There is no way in hell that they didn't see this issue ahead of release.
I'd call customer support but the damn 45 min wait isnt worth it.

Apparently the labs haven't done any testing.
I cannot imagine they thought this feature was ready for release. It's not quirky, or flawed, or sorta functional.... it's just flat out busted.

Good evening everyone I tried it and it doesn't work it seems like it's not sensitive at all compared to the timed setting. In the setting it seems that it starts too late ends too early and doesn't start again when motion is detected.

So knowing this, how does this get brought to Netgear's attention?
Do they read these forums?
Do they care?

I can verify this so it's an issue that will have to result in an update.

This is a great community of users. Much better than what Im used too on social media.
All that said, how can we bring this issue to Netgear's attention?

This was a primary factor in my decision to buy the Arlo system and the feature has been removed. Now I am stuck with a system that does not perform as advertised. Are there others in the same situation? I have escalated my case to several departments. Not very customer friendly. Let’s get this resolved

This is still a problem. I have my cameras set to 'Record until activity stops (up to 300 sec)', but never get anything longer than about 30 seconds. Today a car pulled into my driveway, the driver got out and, as they were walking towards the camera, the recording stopped at 28 sec. Obviously, there was still motion and the recording should have continued.
Please fix this problem, as it defeats the purpose of having security cameras.

Walking towards the camera may well have been the issue as well as maybe the distance. Motion is best detected across the FOV, not directly at the camera. My tests have shown that recording stops after ~5 seconds if motion is not detectable.

I don't think that's it. The motion was actually about 15 ft away and at an angle to the camera. It just seemed to randomly stop recording. I wish there was a setting for timed recordings other than only up to 15 secs. Something like a minute or longer after motion stops, and able to reset the timer if motion resumes would be really helpful.
