Would someone please tell me how to set AbelCam up to start recording when it detects motion?

Thank you

I've tried everything that can be tried. I think there is a problem in the software. At any rate, It's too hard to set up by just throwing darts in the dark. There should be detailed instructions on how to set it up. Maybe there is and I just don't know where to find them. Twelve people have viewed this post, so evidently, a lot of people don't know the answer.

I understand all of these items and set them up accordingly. I still don't have motion detection. I'm not familiar with VideoCapX interface. What is it?

I tried this program out in June, and it worked perfectly. I wonder what version that was.

Problem solved!

I found 3.1.5, and it worked perfectly.

Hello Arnold
have you tried the latest 3.2.1 also?
And if so - what were the problems?

I tried 3.2.0 and it didn't work. Then 3.2.1 came our immediately afterwords. It didn't work either. The problem was that it wouldn't detect motion. It looks like the motion detector quit working with 3.2.0.

Well well well. I reinstalled 3.2.1 this morning. It works. I just don't understand it.

I am having a problem though. I want it to snap a picture as soon as there is motion. It seems to wait a couple of seconds. I've researched, but I haven't found the answer.
