It seems my DCS-920 is constantly seeing motion when no motion exists! I have the sensitivity down to 5% and the percentage at 5% (though I don't know what percentage is for).
My problem is that I record the video when motion is detected, and want it to record for 30 seconds and then stop. With it being constantly protected, I'm eating up disk space unnecessarily.
Help!
I am using the latest firmware version and the latest version of dviewcam.
-
What version of D-ViewCam are you running? Also what size area are you covering for a motion detection area of the picture?
-
Version 2.03. I have two squares covered (if I'm doing it right). When I mouse over the image, a square with an X is displayed. I'm assuming that those squares is where it will attempt motion detection.
-
Can I get some support here, otherwise this camera is useless.
-
Try filling the whole screen and set the percentage to about 80 and sensitivity to 10 percent.
-
No luck, it's still just constantly recording. I have the schedule set to 24/7 Economic Recording.
-
Please try disabling recording and try event recording on motion detection.
-
Ok, I've done that. Set the entire window as the detection area, set the sensitivity to 10% and frequency to 80%. I've enabled record on the motion detection event only (and turned off the scheduled one).
It's still recording constantly. Anything else I can try?

Have you tried it on another PC or tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software, the software seems to glitching. Also there is a 2.04 version of the software if you search under the DCS-1100 or 1130 on the support site you may want to try out.

I uninstalled and reinstalled and now it's working. Strange. Thanks for the tip.
