The “auto” recording length option would be great if it weren’t for the time limit. The limit varies by device - my floodlight & indoor cam each have a max of XXXX seconds, but the new spotlight I just set up has a limit of only 30 seconds, which is absurd. I have the spotlight looking at my driveway, so if someone spends more than 30 seconds breaking into my car, I’d certainly want a full recording of it. There really shouldn’t be any limit at all - if motion is still happening, keep recording, period - but at minimum it should definitely be a lot longer than 30 seconds, and/or have the option to choose a max limit. Especially if the device is hardwired or plugged in, which all of mine are.
