I let our dog out in the back yard, and then later looked at the History for the video of it, and my backyard battery stick-up cam had a recording of it that lasted more than 8 minutes, even though my video setting is 30 seconds.
Any explanation?
Hi @eweiss. If you have a recording that long, it typically means that someone was Live Viewing the event. When the push notification is sent to your phone, you can activate Live View by tapping on the notification. I sometimes do this by mistake when trying to clear the notification, or when my kids are hiding my phone from me 
. I would check with your Shared Users to see if anyone may have accidentally activated the Live View.
