Installed a micro SD memory card in the VMB5000 Smart Hub, and now when the Ultra camera trips (senses motion) it now records most every instance with a 5 minute recording. It's been recording fine (stops the recording when motion stops) previously to installing SD card. Anyone have similar experience? Thanks.

FWIW, I'm not seeing this on either of my two base stations.  They both have microSD cards installed, and the camera rules are set to record until motion stops.  Most recordings are in the 10-20 second range.

Try rebooting the hub and maybe reinsert the camera batteries to get to a known state.

Reset the hub and pulled out battery and reinserted. Still get a 5 minute record every once in a while well after motion has stopped.

Hi @BTG

 

Have you tried to disarm/re-arm or remove & re-create the custom rule (if applicable). You can also try to remove the camera under Settings > My Devices > Re-add it.
