licence for RN104

Strange, picks up motion on my cameras just fine... you sure you have your event stuff setup properly?

I believe so. Hikvisions iVMS-4200 PCNVR correctly records all separate motion events from all three areas defined within the camera. I have made no changes to the camera motion detection areas. I'm using an RN102 with Surveillance version 1.1.0

Can you confirm you have more than one motion detection area on your cameras and that each area triggers separate events on the Surveillance log. If so, any idea what I might be missing?

Just for you, for tomorrow, I'll set up 3 different trigger areas on 1 camera and see what happens.

Zerd,

I've been running it for several hours with 4 motion zones running... how exactly do you test the zones? Go and stand outside and wave up and down in each zone and making sure you're the only thing moving? :P

I appreciate your help

You should do whatever will trigger the zone according to its sensitivities.
However:-

A - To ensure zone event detection segregation, be careful not to trigger detections in multiple zones within overlapping timeframes. e.g don't trigger zone 1 on the way to zone 2.

And, if waving up and down works :-

B - Be sure to smile :)
C - Not while the neighbours are watching :(

Ok. I had 3 zones across and did a basic test. Walking in/across the zones while watching myself remotely on my phone. It was a quick test and I found that the two outer zones triggered their own events. The middle one didn't - but this was probably because I had passed into it from the other zones.

I had my sensitivity set at 20.

So I definitely got 2 different zone triggers.

A positive result. I guess the middle zone didn't trigger because at the time, one of the outer zones detection event period was still active.

I have only just grasped the significance of the fact that the camera reports just one motion detection event from it's field of view at any one time, allbeit that the single event can be generated by multiple, possibly concurrent, camera zone triggers. Provided all triggers are always captured, it does not matter which trigger generates the event.

I shall review and test my camera zones parameters to satisfy myself that all triggers are indeed captured.

There does remain the discspace issue though.

Yeah, that's always an issue for any recording system. Luckily I have the RN104 and 4x3TB drives in a RAID5 config. So All up, I have around 6TB (after other stuff) that I will use for my recording. And that'll easily give me 28 days of cycle time.
