20 seconds recordings with gaps.

I am using DS-2CD2432F-IW for PIR triggered recording.
For some reason the recordings consist of small parts with some parts missing.

Example:
Person enters camera view, recording is triggered, recorded video is 20 seconds 18:19:52 to 18:20:12,
than 40 sec gap, and next short video starts at 18:20:58 and ends to 18:21:20. Than again gap.
The person all that time is in camera's view(right in center, so it's in PIR's range).

I would like the videos to be full length from the beginning to the end of the action which triggered this recording.

At the moment i am using ivms 4200 PCNVR for recordings, but had same problem with recording directly to cameras mini SD card(no NVR/PCNVR set-up)

What can be causing this behavior?

Guessing it's the firmware. 5.2.8 firmware is known to do this. I downgraded to 5.2.5 and all was great.

BTW that's 20 minutes, not 20 seconds :) The gap is the camera rebooting.

it's seconds! Just edited the OP, i forgot to put hours in front of minutes:seconds:)
Just checked, have V5.3.0 build 150513 installed on cameras.
 
This may be the PIR sensor not picking up slow moving motion. Extend the recording time after motion is detected.
