andyscan 0 Posted November 18, 2008 Is it a single channel DVr? It should have at least one alarm input as it does list an event search. Have a look in the manual to see if its N/O or N/C contact and the set the movement detector to suit. If not sure set the dvr to record on alarm.(you might have the option in the setup to select N/O N/C.) or connect to wires to the alarm + comm and open and close to loop to see what state changes starts the event record. They usually a logic circuit looking for voltage to read state change. Then find decent motion detector and wire her in. Or if you need 2 then run them in series. good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
