Hi had a look and my DVR only has a motion detect option where the boarder ca not be used. Now thinking if im going to upgrade anyway i might try IP. Thanks.

Hi thanks for the replies. My recording does start 5secs before trigger just didn`t know the correct term for it. Becuase of my camera angle i want the motion to trigger on the very left side and top side of the screen. I am happy with the field of view so don`t want to move the camera. Is it normal for a DVR not to detect right up the edge of the viewable area? Thanks.

No the sensitivity is fine for the area avaliable for motion detection. The problem is boarder can not be selected for motion detection. Therefore only about 60% of the viewable area can be setup for motion detection. I need the whole viewable area to be motion detection. Just to clarify my Effio 700TVL cameras are at max viewing angle already. The motion detection is setup on my DVR as opposed to on the cameras. If my current DVR can not be changed then i need another that will record 4 channels in D1 with full screen motion detection. Also my current 1TB DVR continously records and then seperately marks motion events which i would like to keep.

My screen needs the blocks to be filled in to enable motion detection in that block. The outside blocks are not able to be selected. Therefore 50 of the 180 blocks can not have motion detection. If this can not be changed then could anyone recommend a dvr that can have full screen motion detection. Thanks.

Hi I have a 8ch unbranded H.264 DVR, bought as a system from Ebay. The DVR motion detection has 180 blocks for selecting Hide/Show. However the outer margin of blocks are not selectable for motion detection. Is it posible to change this so the whole screen is motion detection enabled. Alternatively can anyone recommend a 4 or 8ch DVR that has full screen motion detection.
