because that can be configured with the REC toolbar button
- Added support for TP-Link NC2XX, NC4XX and Tapo cloud cameras

get written into that file when a crash/hang happens

- Corrected FTP to first upload the full video/jpeg version and then
the corresponding thumb. That's necessary because in web interface
the thumbs point through a link to the full versions

having the same name

run a .bat script on detection to move/copy the video files to
another location)

4.9.9 (November 3rd 2014)

- Possibility to configure Recording Segments of 15 min. and 30 min.

- Moved the De-Interlace and the Rotate 180� commands from
the Capture menu to Device Settings - General Tab
