After noticing some oddness with clips, did repair/regenerate and trigger seems to be working now as far as recording goes. However it no longer triggers an alert. If I "trigger now" it does.

I thought red was "hot spot" or "hot zone" and was an override for triggering?

Well, I suppose that explains why no trigger but, I had intended to create two zones. I selected Zone A in the tab and created rectangle "A". I then selected Zone B in the tab and created a Zone to the left of that called "B". When I select Zone A in the tab, the crosshatch swaps. When I...

I just noticed the sense motion trigger words are greyed out, while the help file shows them black. I suppose this means the trigger is not active?

Sorry to seem/be so clueless but I don't know what you mean. I must be missing basic concept. Do you mean a screen shot of what is in "Edit Motion Zones"? I'm finding a lot of references to Zones, but only found that place to define Zones.

I have tried both abutted and with some space between.

So I have defined zones A and B, as rectangles that are adjacent to each other, setup a trigger for A>B B>A (also tried A-B). Does not trigger.

Never mind. Idiot mode disengaged.

So, where are zones defined, or displayed? There seem to be predefined zones? I see enable zones and hotspots. Do I enable that and not define hotspots? Still I have no idea how to deal with zones.

Version 4.5.9.8 x64 HIKVISION Model: DS-2CD2042WD-I When lighting changes dramatically, it triggers a false motion alert. I have tried messing with contrast but no joy. What might I try?

Never mind. Operator malfunction. That is determined by the camera not BI. Sorry.

Looking where you suggest, in the preview window, I see the date formatting, but not the "camera name", which in the "live view" is in the line just above the time/date. Actually that seems to add an additional date stamp to the view. Not sure what you mean by "the cameras own overlay.."...

I did an export of a camera (reg) and imported it to another. The name of the camera as shown in the real time display, lower right, above the time shows as the imported camera. It shows as desired in camera properties. At least where I've looked. How to change it?

Looks like it was "clip storage". "over-allocation error". I freed up a lot of disk space, that error has gone away. No longer have the gaps. Thanks for the help.
