Bit of an update here. I have 5 cameras with SD cards - only 2 of which record based on motion.
Camera 1 - if i select a date from the pull down tab, it you see the hour glass as it tries to connect or retrieve the video and then it flips back to LIVE.
Camera 2 - if i select a date from the pull down tab, it jumps to that date - possibly the first motion of alert of the day. However the list of alerts still refers to yesterday and the day before so you cant really choose any alerts.
I dont think the promised functionality works - but I think as I am seeing different behaviour on 2 cameras possibly this is SD card related?
But really we need to be able to select a date - see the alerts for that day (rather than it always show the list of yesterday) which is pointless.
