Making Motion Cap Previews More Likely to Show the Motion Triggering Event

Is there a reliable way of making the Security Spy motion capture snapshot image show a frame from DURING the motion triggering event? It would be really nice if all the snapshot images showed the triggering even rather than before or after the event. That way, a simple glance through the web interface's captured video previews would quickly reveal what happened. I currently get that in about half of my motion captures. The rest require playing a few seconds of the motion cap clip to discover what caused the event.

I tried setting pre-capture to 0 seconds, but even that only makes about 50% of the clip preview images show the actual event.

Is there a combination of pre / post / detection duration settings that will consistently pull the preview image from the period of the triggering motion? A frame somewhere about 1/2 way through the detection period or right at the end of the detection period would be ideal.

    "right at the end of the detection period would be ideal"

    That sounds like a good idea.

    For the preview thumbnails in the web interface, SecuritySpy attempts to show the first frame that triggered the motion detection. There is no combination of settings that will change this - it is fixed. But it sounds like it's not happening quite right in your case. Would you be able to email us a couple of these files so that we can take a look? If they are too big to email, please use WeTransfer to send us a link to the files (or any other service you prefer such as Dropbox).

    Ben, it would be wonderful if this could be improved.
    I will arrange some video files to be available for analysis.
    A link will arrive via e-mail.
