On multi-zone sensing and "false alarms" I'd like to learn how to select areas in the camera's view to turn on video recording. Straightforward?

Here are the Menu selections:-Settings-Task-Task Management-Record to storage on alarm - you have to have a micro SD storage installed in the camera

hello wendy, you can setup the alarm recording schedule . For example , if you are at home from 18:00 pm to 7:00 am and don't need alarm recordings, then you configure the camera detection working schedule range 7:00 am to 18:00pm. it means that the camera doesn't record at night. You can configure the 24 hours and also 7 days motion detection range .

It is difficult to explain how the system works, but, essentially, you can move through the "Menu" items by using the up and down buttons on the left, and then use the "shutter" button on the top (to the right of the power button) to "select." It takes some trial and error, and unfortunately, I didn't find any good reference material on the web to send you to.

Typical installations of security cameras use a DVR, which record the areas being monitored for playback at a later time. If you choose to connect the camera(s) directly to the TV instead, you are limited only by the number of composite style inputs the TV has, and of course, will have the ability to view only what is happening in real time and no record of daily events.I suppose one could use a switch selector box to connect multiple cameras to a single TV input, and then manually switch between cameras. What purpose this would serve, I don't know.

I haven't messed with the software that comes with it, but I recommend checking out iSpy. Free, and works very well with these camera handling motion detection and recording.

Can't answer it, but you can go to their website and send their tech support an email and they are pretty responsive. I use Blue Iris software with the camera and it captures the scene when the camera is triggered.

Con Sumer, I wish I could be more help, but this camera was a gift to my wife, and she is Chinese, I do know you are limited to 20 min. for video. As far as the remote view finder not sure on that, or we do not have that option. we only can start the recording by pressing the shoot button on the camera itself.

It is setup with quad cameras, but you can double click on any single image and it will take you to that image full screen. Or there are buttons at the bottom where you can switch between modes.

Hi Jeffrey, yes you can place in mode to detect motion and only snap a picture or you can set for a 10 second recording. I have a HooToo HT-IP210f wireless that has been used in my vault room in which I am willing to sell at a greatly reduce price, all attachments ,box. Contact Robert @ rasinriverranch@gmail.com

Expanding on the answer provided by Moxee: 1. Unplug the power from the camera. 2. Insert the memory card. 3. Plug in the power for the camera and wait roughly one minute. 4. Use the software that ships with the camera (either the Camera Setup tool or the CameraLive software) to open the camera's setup web page. 5. At the right of the setup web page, click Task, and then Task Management. 6. Put a checkmark next to item 9, Record to storage on alarm. 7. Click Apply. 8. You can configure most of the recording setting by clicking the Record to storage on alarm link. I like to use a 15 second recording time and split time, with a 5 second prerecord (includes 5 seconds of video before the camera senses motion - that is configured in the Camera - Stream Setup). 9. You may need to adjust the motion detection settings. I typically start with the Threshold set at 25% and the Sensitivity set to 75%. You will find the motion detection settings under the Tasks link at the right. I have not had to format any of the 32GB SanDisk memory cards that I have used with the TriVision cameras. I have had to occasionally reformat a couple of memory cards in my NC-336PW and NC-239WF cameras when the cards became corrupt, possibly due to the camera's inability to upload the recorded videos to a FTP server. You will find a Format command by clicking the Storage link at the right of the configuration web page.

The recording lens is on the front end. The yellow light indicates which recording mode it's in.

1. Turn on the unit by switching the power button to "ON"; 2. The "Audio Player" menu will show; 3. Under "Audio Player" or any other menu such as "Video Player" or "Picture View", simultaneously push on the two buttons of "VOL-/|&lt;&lt;" and "VOL+/|&gt;&gt;|" for al least 2 seconds; the "DV" menu will show; 4. Press on "OK" button, this will turn on video recording function. 5. If you want to stop the "DV" function, press "OK" again (sometimes for 2-3 times), a bar will show asking "Now recording, stop it?", use "VOL-/|&lt;&lt;" and "VOL+/|&gt;&gt;|" buttons to confirm ("OK") or cancel ("Cancel"). Hope this is helpful. Thanks!

Have you set up the recording schedule? I couldn't figuire it out, but I went with the default setting for the entire day. Another thing you can try is when you are in the view mode for the cameras right click on the camera you want to review then left click on "play back." After that you have to select which camera you want to view. I tried listing all the cameras for play back, but that didn't work so I had to select only one camera at a time. When you get to that screen there are some numbers in the bottom right hand side, those are referring to the cameras in your system. Select the one you want to watch a recording on. You have to select the day you want to review and then hit the refresh icon (looks almost like the arrows for a recycling sign). You are then given a list of times the camera recorded and you can select one to view. I use the motion detect also, and I think its the best option because it won't record the entire day. If you want to look into the other options that you can adjust in your system then all you need to do is right click with the mouse and it will list all the options that you can adjust.

I haven't used it myself yet, but there is a "movie-record button" that my "for Dummies" book says you "use to start recording a movie using the default recording settings".

Use one of the audio inputs. Try it on each one until you get the audio on the right video feed. You may have to use the menu to turn on the audio recording.

The top left button is the video on and off switch. You can test this by power the 959 and transmitter up, turning the quad over and watching the little LED light on the camera as you press the top left button. When you press the button one time the light will change color and stay that way indicating it is taking video. Press it one time again and the light will change indicating it has stopped recording. Note though, in order for a video to work you MUST stop the recording before powering off the quad or the video file will not close properly.
