Pack Duration

Post by rmchapa »

I currently have my camera set to 24/7 record to my sd card. The camera is set to the default pack duration of 8 minutes, but I want to change this to 1 hour (or possibly even longer). The benefit would be that I can download an entire hour of logs in one file, and not have to download several 8 minute files, however I want to understand the drawbacks of this.

Does this have an effect on my playback view? i.e. Will it make my live playback files inaccessible until the entire hour of file is written to disk?

So testing this out, it looks like You cannot view the file that is currently being recorded via the Amcrest Web View app.

Is there a way that I can see the file that's currently being recorded? i.e. if I have the Pack Duration set to one hour, but want to see something that just happened 10 minutes ago.
