841 snapshots per email on the latest 18.R firmware

Post by jjreynolds »

I could never get more than 1 snapshot per email, and the interval and dither settings never seemed
to limit how many emails I get. I had some time to kill today and did a reset to defaults and reconfigured from scratch, not importing the settings like I normally do. It still doesn't work. If this is supposed to worked as rumored, I'm guessing you need an SD card installed. My old Foscam sent multiple snapshots with no SD card. Does anyone know?

Hello jjreynolds ,

Can you try with interval set to 0 as well as 1 to see if any of those settings work?

Melvin, I tried 0 and 1 Intervals and get the 5 snapshots per email that is set in the Motion Event screen. They are time stamped 1 sec apart. But to get this to work you can't throttle the number of emails you receive other than with the Dither setting. Also the timestamp in the email body uses DD MM YY format, ignoring the setting in the System DateTime screen. I believe I tried a zero Interval setting with this firmware version after importing the settings and it didn't give me multiple snapshots which would indicate import export does not work across versions. Thanks
