I think I must be missing something reading the documentation. it seems that modect is already recording the events (both in databases and as image files). unless you set the filter action to delete the events right aways, the events will stay on record. so what does mocord do different?

From the instructions and some clairification:
· 'Modect' – or MOtion DEteCTtion. All captured images will be analysed and events generated where motion is detected.
Events are only captured and logged into the database if the analisis dectects a change as set by the zones.

· ‘Record’ – In this case continuous events of a fixed length are generated regardless of motion which is analogous to a convention time-lapse video recorder. No motion detection takes place in this mode.
No analisis is done so there is no motion dection, and images are constantly generated. These are broken up dependant on your setting of Section length for that camera into time events in the database.

· ‘Mocord’ – This is a hybrid of Modect and Record and results in both fixed length events being recorded and also any motion being highlighted within those events.
So this constantly records and anailises the images for changes and can show you in the sectioned event where changes in the image have occured.

If you play with it a bit you should be able to make more since of it that way as well.

ok, I get it with the clarifications.
