Cameras events recording are not playing only pictures

Jump to solution
My camera is only taking pictures when it triggers but in the event screen on the app it shows 14s like it is a video.  I have an active subscription and paying for my devices on a yearly plan so that is not the issue. What do I need to do to fix this?
