Camera not recording all motion

I have a camera set up in my Office. The Zoneminder fedora 12 box is at my house (different location) -- everything is forwarded correctly because for the most part I am gettng full motion record.

The problem is that every once in a while, I check the Events for the day and see that the first event is not me entering the office, instead it is at a later point (did not record the first motion).

Any ideas are greatly appreciated. - it kind of defeats the purpose of having this system if it is not recording the first motion (burglar, etc. coming in)


Another thing is I'm getting these two records in the 'Events' - not sure if it has anything to do with the previous question.

Id Name Monitor Cause Time(^) Duration Frames
3243 Event-3243 ImpecOffice Motion 12/31 17:00:00 -17909350.15
2959 Event-2959 ImpecOffice Motion 12/31 17:00:00 -18346920.41
You can see the Duration is 17909350.15 and 18356920.41... which is obviously not right

Not sure why this is happening? - The system wasn't installed until a few weeks ago...

I am having a similar problem in that the first event of the day does not seem to be picked up. However, I think motion detection works as expected after this.

Any help would be appreciated. If I find a solution in the mean time I will post here.
