V3 camera restarts

When a cam restarts, it stops recording for the period of time required for the restart. When the cam is in Continuous SD record, it is normal to see a gap in the timeline during that restart. Here is my plug produced power cycle restart\reboot:

However, your screenshots are showing two other issues that have been appearing in the forums.

  1. The first screenshot shows no gap when you state there should be one from a restart. Other users have reported an inconsistency in the real time reporting of the timeline shading. Sometimes it takes time to load the real timeline shading or it doesn’t update the real timeline shading until the timeline is manipulated. It is not affecting all users or all cams, It hasn’t been attributed to any specific app version, OS, or FW and may be related to the data transfer speed between the cam and phone app thru the P2P connection. This would be network\ISP connectivity related as it is dependant on the WiFi Router and the ISP to secure the P2P connection.

  2. Both screenshots show No Video At This Time although the timeline is centered on a portion where it shows video should be recorded. Others have also seen this occur. It has been reported that new microSD cards are doing this recently at a much higher rate. One user found a fix in removing the microSD and reformatting it on a computer with a specific file allocation size.
