Everfocus EDR1640 Motion Detect / Firmware Help

Recommended Posts

I tried to use the above system in motion detect mode many months ago and it kept locking up.

 

I decided to try newer firmware (direct from the EverFocus site) and discovered it wouldn't upload (mismatch error in phase 3). It seems only the firmware from our local vendor can be uploaded (with their custom badging etc).

 

Anyhow, I seem to have missed something with going back to motion detect - as far as I can tell it isn't recording anything any longer. The motion 'M' comes up on each of the cameras but nothing goes to the drive. I've set the motion record period to 1 second.

 

Motion Detect is enabled for each of the cameras. Where / do I need to specify record motion events only?

 

Any advice on motion detection tricks on this machine would be appreciated!

 

Cheers, Antony.

I remembered the trick - you need motion detect AND a schedule enabled where the normal record rate is 0fps and the motion is at Nfps (so the schedule records no "normal" video and only "events"). Such an ugly interface...

 

Lets hope the motion detect holds up better than last time!

 

I still can't work out why the firmware upgrade won't work though...

 

Cheers, Antony.
