Ok I'll try to explain The DVR is simply set to record, this is because the motion detection has far to many trigger events to be able to go through. This way the system breaks the recording down to 24 hourly segment which is far easier to manage. The dvr usually only gets looked at after an event eg. car scratch. then I would go back to the last time the car was OK and fast forward till today. Once I see whats happned I can make a network backup. The problem is that the backup takes ages to download and I have to give a figure in MB as to how long the backup recording is going to be (not an ideal solution) Also viewing the system via the network software is not good due to the poor quality and frame rate of the image. (i use a wireless laptop) altho the downloded recording is very good. I was wondering if the unit or software could be programmed to 'download' an hours worth of system recordings every hour (this software would be on my server). I could then stream the hour long video segments to my laptop (like I do with divx) Then I could simply keep the 1 hour video I need and delete the rest. I would imagin the system does not do this, but I feel sure that some software could be made to do pre-programmed network backups. Regard Ump

I hate to admit this, but I think the manual was on a CD and I have lost it, I'll download a copy. Thats kinda what I want, but I dont use the motion capture because of where I have had to put my camera it fires off far to much. I dont suppose there is a way that I can configure a backup so it uploads all the system recordings to an ftp on my lan, that would be very good. I dont have a monitor on my DVR and I veiw it on my laptop via my lan. I also have a 2TB file server with loads of space on it, and would like that to store the DVR backup. The drive on the DVR is only 160GB. Many thanx for your reply Ump..

Hi, mine works fine, but I would like to back up ALL the hard drive via network, and the software I got with it only allows for me to enter a time and a date, and a figure in MB. Do you know of some other software that would allow this. Many thanx in advance Ump..
