Hik-Connect On hikvision camera what does the capture number mean in event photo/snapshot menu?

Hi @warrendanielsmith

The capture number is the number of stills that will be grabbed when an event is triggered and the interval setting is the time between each of those captures.

Hi Dan,

Is there a bug in the Event Triggered Snapshot feature that you know of? I have set the Capture Number to 1 but the camera still takes 4 snapshots. See images below...

Just an update... This seems to be dependent on firmware. If I tick the "Upload to FTP/Memory Card/NAS" checkbox in the Linkage settings on my 8MP Gen1 turrets running firmware (V5.6.6 build 210625) they DO NOT save an image when an event is triggered. My new 8MP Gen2 turret running firmware (V5.7.3 build 220216) DOES save a single image when events are triggered.

On either of these models, if you tick the "Event Triggered Snapshot" checkbox in the Capture settings, you seem to get 4 snapshots saved regardless of the 'Capture Number' setting. All seems a bit hit and miss??

Hello,

If you set the interval part to 6 seconds or 6000ms and then set the capture number to part 1, you can see that it only took 1 photo. I found it works properly when i do it this way
