Adjust the camera-triggered clip length setting

The camera-triggered clip length determines the preferred size of recorded clips. Camera-triggered clips are uploaded based on recording rules.

For more information about available recording methods, see Recording Video and Change a camera's Video Analytics settings.

Video Analytics rules

A Video Analytics recorded clip is always approximately 30 seconds regardless of what the camera-triggered clip length setting is set to. For more information about Video Analytics, see Change a camera's Video Analytics settings.

Note: Video Analytics clips for the ADC-VDB780B are the exception to this, and will be 20 seconds long.
