Hi

In what set up do we tick the black and white option in the motion trigger options?
Only when it is recorded in black and white with IR lights?
What effect does it have on the detection?

I have my cameras fixed in colour mode and use some small garden lights to illuminate the areas.
Get fairly decent colour snapshots for codeproject but obviously they are darkish compared to daytime.

Should I leave this box unticked for night time?

Thanks
