    Can i connect an external motion detector module to a Camera (HikVision)

    Does anyone have a walkthrough on how to set up tracking on the new gui.

    OK - thanks....i cant find that option but ive not looked that far through the menus (ill go and have a look now.) Again, thanks...thanks for answering all my questions....i kinda tend to learn by doing 50 things wrong and then 1 getting it right (and it then sinking in)

    Does anyone have a walkthrough on how to set up tracking on the new gui.

    Just looking at the TandemVu now...thats a bit big....chose this one as it sits on the front of the house, on the corner and up under the eves.....no one notices it (which is what i like!) plus the other thing is the price is starting to creep up!.....back to my camera - im not seeing (like i...

    Does anyone have a walkthrough on how to set up tracking on the new gui.

    ok- its not too much of a problem as i could use the camera for something else...so not the end of the world...! that being said (totally off the cuff question) - can this camera be used upside down and outside in the elements?
