Re: Everything seems to work, but alarms never end

Hi, I also took the advice above and re-created my setup; now I only have: - one monitor (no links) - one zone (as before), covering the field of view completely (0-799 horiz / 0-599 vert) I set the zone preset to "Fast, high sensitivity"; have yet to try other presets, but I figured this ...
