Continuous record with motion event markers
-
Nope Annke offers one or the other only.. There is also no images in pictures that will be stored unless you have a camera that offers such like a LPR.
To be honest best thing you can do is use your app and get notices when there are alerts and or use the notice in the top right of the Window on the DVR's GUI to click on and see fast events. Outside of that it is play back and find what you want

Hi,
For your system problem, you could set the motion detection and record for the system. So when there is motion detection, you could receive the notification and playback the short video.

Andrew, David Lawrenson: I just got the DT61BS 16 channel DVR, but maybe what works for it will work for your system. I set the camera for Continuous record 24/7. Then I setup and enable the Event - Motion section. Make sure you Continuously record at a relatively low bit rate and record at a high bit rate for Events (in the Record - Parameter tab), because you don't want to fill up the disk with lots of meaningless hi-res video when you only need hi-res video of Events that occur. You'll still get a good idea what happened when you weren't recording at a high bit rate, just not quite as sharp. I did that with my old non-ANNKE DVR and it was useful when some guy came through the neighborhood and opened up unlocked cars that I could see with my cams, but never triggered an Event since they were across the street from me.
When I go to Playback, there are tabs for Normal and Event in the top left. If you use the Event tab, you can playback all of the Motion events that happened on that channel - they will be highlighted on the time line in red, while the continuous video is in blue. It's usually a good idea to choose a timeline of 1 or 2 hours instead of the default 24, if you want to see the red markers. If you click on the gear in the lower right, you can choose to see the video between motion events at regular or higher speeds or not at all (Skip). You can also use the Search function (top of page) to find all Motion events on whatever channel, date, and time period, you want and view them from the list. When you're setting up the cameras, if you click on Advanced at the bottom, you can choose how much the pre-record and post-record times are for each Event.
That's all based on the assumption that much of the ANNKE software user interface is the same and only the interfaces to the hardware are different on each recorder. Hope this helps!
