Motion Detection Selected in Schedule but Constant Record

[jwadsley]

I've got an EmpireTechNVR with 5442 cameras and although I've selected Motion Detection in the schedule, the cameras all continuously record. Not sure what setting I missed, but I think I've checked everything for Motion record and not continuous record. Anyone able to pint me to a hidden menu I've missed?

This is the SmartPSS Network Schedule:

I would look at the recording setup on the NVR directly not through SmartPSS. I never use it to make settings only for live view and playback/download

I figured it out, it was that I had to select teach camera channel individually, so I did a copy settings to all.

Ya, I'm not connected to the network the cameras are on, so using SmartPSS is my easiest option that seems to do what I need it to do...

You should still be able to reach the NVR the same way SmartPSS does….

SmartPSS is using the P2P option, I don't know of a way to do that on a Windows PC....I use the IP address, thus the VPN is needed...

Gotcha. OpenVPN is how I reach my remote NVR's

Ya, I was fortunate that the router we are using has OpenVPN installed, so I was able to set that up and then connect on the VPN to hit the IP Address...

Not sure it makes anything any safer with P2P open or not, but since its an HOA and its not only me who needs access, I can't just make it OpenVPN access as I do with my home network...

Ahhh, I have a similar situation with an HOA. makes a lot of sense.
