Snapshot taken at the beginning of each video recording. #444

I have a 1080p Dome camera (BFUS) which I use to record a video when it detects motion. It has now started to take a snapshot at the beginingof each video that it records. I've checked all my settings and can't see any setting that might cause this. Is this a bug or is there a way of stopping this behaviour ?

Thanks for any advice that anyone might give.

There is a new feature starting from 0.4.5 that creates thumbnails of all mp4 files. It doesn't take a snapshot, simply it extracts the 1st frame from the video. You probably mean this.

Thanks for the info. Can this feature be switched off ?

Officially it is not possible. But you could use startup.sh to change crond configuration:

killall crond
cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root | grep -v thumb.sh > /tmp/cron_root
mv /tmp/cron_root /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
/usr/sbin/crond -c /var/spool/cron/crontabs/
