    Can i connect an external motion detector module to a Camera (HikVision)

    Hi there. As above... the model of my camera is a DS-2DE4A425IWG-E The reason is (and this is the way i see it pardon the pun) - am i right in saying that the camera's motion detector only picks up motion that actually comes into its view...? The question was if you were to mount a motion...

    OK - thanks....i cant find that option but ive not looked that far through the menus (ill go and have a look now.) Again, thanks...thanks for answering all my questions....i kinda tend to learn by doing 50 things wrong and then 1 getting it right (and it then sinking in)

    Just looking at the TandemVu now...thats a bit big....chose this one as it sits on the front of the house, on the corner and up under the eves.....no one notices it (which is what i like!) plus the other thing is the price is starting to creep up!.....back to my camera - im not seeing (like i...

    ok- its not too much of a problem as i could use the camera for something else...so not the end of the world...! that being said (totally off the cuff question) - can this camera be used upside down and outside in the elements?

    Predicatbly i had a go at setting it up (the way i think it should) and it's not tracking anything....i dont understand the concept of drawing a box say, the size of a person and plonking it somewhere on the screen....does the placement of that box mean that they have to passthrough that area...

    Ok - yes there is a "smart events" area so i think were talking about the same thing! no idea what "linkage" means though!

    Some initial questions after my look/see into the tracking... Am i right in saying that for every preset position the camera goes to you can apply tracking perameters to that preset?
