I have ipc-HDW3849H-AS-PV cameras feeding a Dahua NVR4208-8P-4kS2.. Does anyone know if there is anyway to set up the system to detect motion for the recordings without activating the warning tones and lights.
 
Yes, that is no problem.
First you need to log in directly to the camera.

See the screenshot, should explain enough I hope.

thank for your reply. My problem is that I can not log into the camera direct since my NVR is on a mesh network and hence only has a private network ip address. The mesh network connects to my main isp router. It is not practical to connect the nvr directly to the isp router due to distance.

This implies you are using Wifi to handle NVR or Camera traffic. You will have issue's, WiFI was not designed for the continuous traffic that a security cam generates.
Do it properly with ethernet cables.

My setup is that the cameras are connected by ethernet cables to the nvr and the nvr is connected to the mesh extender by cable which is in turn connected to the isp router

I don't think your Mesh setup would impact if you can log on to the cameras. Try to log in to the NVR, go to Settings- cameras. In the lower list you see the cameras connected to the NVR, you may need to scroll to right in the list until you see an "e", click it and you'll hopefully be able to log on directly to the respective cameras.
 
Thank you very much...that has worked for 3 out of the four cameras. I have never accessed that way before and it seems to open up more controls. incidentally the fourth camera . using the method described came back with message site could not be found or may have moved.,,,,,,thanks again
