For one of my cameras I am defining an active area for potential trigger by painting that area under Camera Properties->Trigger->Motion sensor Configure -> Use zones and hot spot Edit... The problem I am having is that whatever area I remove for motion sensing is being blocked/blacked out in the recorded video. Camera Properties->Video->Area of interest is disabled. How can I make the motion sensing area to only sense motion in a particular area but record the entire image without blocking anything out?

Sounds like you have turned on privacy zones in your camera's web interface.
Hmm. Well I have no idea what causes that.
Just to add a bit to my previous post:
* Disabling "Cancel shadows" does not fix it (didn't expect so)
* Enabling "Black-out masked areas" always blacks things out (not just when recording)
* Disabling "Black-out masked areas" shows everything in the live stream but again blocks the motion sensitive area when recording.
* My HikVision camera has "Enable Privacy Mask" disabled (no check mark)

Sure enough. It didn't do that back when I played with the feature.
It also isn't blacking out that area entirely; the black mask is still about 5% transparent it looks like. Had I known that I never would have mentioned it could be a privacy mask. LOL
