    Trigger on one camera prevents trigger on another

    I adjusted the motion sensitivity much higher and it seems to trigger much better now at night even after triggering the previous camera. At first it seemed that triggering another camera first caused the second to delay but that might not be the case after more testing. If I get too many...

    Trigger on one camera prevents trigger on another

    I thought I had the fps set to 15 but on one of the cameras it is set to 25. The i-frame interval on the same one was set to 50 when I thought it was set to 15. I will make sure they are all set to 15.

    Trigger on one camera prevents trigger on another

    It seems to work better in the day but the setting for alerts and recording are the same for both profiles. The difference in the profile is related to triggers. The PC has an i5-8500 3Ghz proc, 8GB RAM, SSD for the OS and a WD Purple for the clips. The database path is on the SSD. I have 4...

    Trigger on one camera prevents trigger on another

    Okay. I just tested again and it seem to take almost a minute of motion in the second camera before it triggers. I will need to test some more.

    Trigger on one camera prevents trigger on another

    Does this happen by default? I record motion only. I am not using zone crossing. If the camera in the driveway is triggered then the camera at the front door seems to be prevented from getting triggered within an unspecified amount of time. Either camera will trigger with motion but it seem the...

    BI Motion zone rules?

    From the manual, AB>C means the object must have been in zones A AND B before moving to C. I guess for the NOT condition you can have an area with no zone.

    Cancel shadows at night recommendation

    I saw at least one thread recommending to turn off the Cancel Shadows setting at night. It makes sense to turn it off unless the cancel shadows will reduce car lights passing over the ground at night. Has anyone found that setting helpful for that situation?

    Test run video through motion detector and profiles

    I tried overriding the profile by clicking on the profile buttons at the top right of the screen while viewing playback and the zones don't change. Is there another way?

    Test run video through motion detector and profiles

    I guess I was not clear on what I am looking for since I got no replies. When you view a clip which was created by a motion trigger you can run the clip through the motion detector so you can see what caused the trigger. When you do this you can see the zones you have set for that profile...

    Test run video through motion detector and profiles

    When I view a clip to find out why an alert was generated by motion in a zone, I see the zones masked for the current profile and not the profile from when the clip was created. I tried to override the schedule while viewing the clip but the zone masking doesn't change. The zones are different...

    You can use that method for testing and after that you can use more secure methods if you are uncomfortable.

    Probably due to OS limitation.
