Title: Video Recording on SD also records 1 picture - why?
Post by: mdupuis on April 14, 2013, 06:46:34 AM

I have video recording to the SD card enabled and working fine.  I don't understand why at every entry (I have mine setup on motion detection) it records the video as per the chosen instructions BUT it also saves 1 photo snapshot even though SD RECORDING is ONLY set to record the video.  Any idea why and how to have it stop record photos in addition to video??

Have you tried restarting the camera?

Are you sure another setting isn't doing it, like from mydlink.com?

the snapshot image is designed for using by Mdylink.

Hmmm, mydlink does it's own thing.

You should probably turn that off, and log into the camera's firmware, and turn on what you want there.

It'll be a struggle to understand all that crap, but you won't be asking questions about mydlink.com setup issues that no one understands.
