hi

I've installed the new mini PTZ outside camera and it works just fine. The only problem I have is the finetuning of the motion detect. With daylight the camera records just fine and only if someone passes by or something. But, if it's night and the camera switches over to 'night mode/black and white' (no infra red led's on the camera) it almost record anything. Although there are some pixels visible I have not the idea that this is cousin the motion detect.

What setting I have to adjust do you think?

beneath you can see that it almost record anything by night.

Welcome to the forum....

What are you finetuning..? Sensitivity.? Threshold..?

I've found that on mine I have to adjust the sensitivity so that shadows or flickering lights don't set it off constantly.
Newer NVR and cams have "tripwire" and "intrusion" which are quite a bit more accurate.

What model PTZ cam...?

Model NVR..?
