![]() Ok, so much for stating the obvious so short of suggesting to use a "real" video camera for shooting long takes here's a few suggestions. Large sensor video cameras that mimic the cinematic look of film and DSLR's have special cooling features because as the sensor heats up it develops more noise. Video cameras have sensors designed for video and still cameras have sensors best suited for the demands of shooting high resolution single images. Basically, it isn't the right tool for the job you are trying to do. There are lots of issues when using a DSLR to record video. ![]() If this is a technical problem, could someone please outline it for me so I can understand it better? (I believe the 1080p/30 h.264 encoding only uses about ~6MB/sec so there shouldn't be any issues there) which means, even if i rounded up to 10 to make the math easy, I should be able to store a good 3.5 hours AT LEAST. is there something I'm not getting as far as a possible technical limitation? I have a 128GB sdxc card that allows for a consistent 40MB/s write speed. I'm aware of the European legal reasons that canon would choose to do this, but I'm in America and not governed by those tax laws and thus I feel perfectly justified in my want to circumvent such a trivial limitation. What exactly causes this limitation? clearly the 700d spans 4gb files pretty easily, and yet recording still stops at 29.9 minutes. Is this something that can happen in ML? is it being worked on? What's really insulting and enraging is hearing the same, tired old instructions from both the customer support folks and the moderators here to, like you did, "change out the battery, reboot the base station, delete the camera and resync.blah, blah, blah.Ĭan you imagine calling your HVAC guy in the middle of the night in the dead of winter about your furnace not running and hear him tell you to reboot it, disconnect it, take the thermostat off and reconnect it.I too am in a position of needing to record 2 hour lectures, hour-long interviews, and 1.5 hour musical recitals and it would be very useful if I could use my 700d to do it. However, unless you are trying to stream frequently or continuously for a period of time, you won't necessarily know if the issue has begun to resolve itself until you realize you are not getting the recordings you expect. They can blame Camera Gremlins and hang bells under every camera while I am running wires for the next system I purchase. The Motorcycle Gremlin excuse seems to appease Harley people, maybe Arlo can find the same customer base. Not really anything that would have potential to fix the problem. All I did was swap batteries around and took a battery out of one that is plugged in, and got kinda violent with the Base Station. Only had a couple times in the last day or day and a half that they haven't connected properly. Which either means won't have any issues until something happens that it is dire they work correctly for, or they will all go belly up tomorrow. Mine seem to have started fixing themselves. If this issue continues, I'll have to resort to purchasing the old and expensive, but reliable POE security camera systems from other companies, and put these Arlo systems up online for sale. ![]() What I thought would be an affordable, convenient security system, has now turned out to be a severe inconvenience with a potential for bad situations to occur that I may not be able to swiftly address or minimize due to these technical hiccups. In addition, this has become a daily fiasco. Now, it has become a nuisance, because whenever I hear my dogs barking and I cannot see on the cameras what is alarming or causing my dogs to bark, I need to go downstairs and outside to where they are and where the camera cannot see due to the timed out request. As weeks passed, this display began occurring more frequently and rotated with almost all my cameras with no pattern. Since we added the 2nd base station, the request timed out display started occurring occasionally. I live in a US territory, and because of that, Arlo does not offer any Smart Plan options for me. I was willing to pay whatever the "Smart Plan" subscription fee required, so that I could view all 8 of my cameras simultaneously or have them simultaneously on my monitors. Arlo allows 5 cameras, but to add a 6th camera requires a paid subscription for a "Smart Plan". We had no issues before with the first base station, and we were happy with the system so we bought a 2nd Arlo Pro 2 base station (same one with 4 cameras) 2 months ago, then we started experiencing issues. I have 2 Arlo Pro 2 base stations, the first we got as a gift a year ago from my brother, Arlo Pro 2 with 4 cameras. One of the other issues I've had was adding more than 5 cameras.
