Dvr4-alert full screen playback

I set up the DVR4-ALERT to "EACH" mode for cameras and "MOTION DETECTION". It records well. When I watch the record in"QUAD" mode I can see all four channals. If during playback I switch to "FULL SCREEN" mode for example channal 1 (press button 1), I can watch it (first) in full screen, untill motion happens for example on channal 2, so if the record for channal 2 exists the DVR switches to "QUAD" mode during playback it self and I cannot copy the full screen record of channal 1 to DVD.

That's because this is a quad. It compresses all 4 video feeds into 1 file. When you play it back, it decompresses the video and shows you each camera. Playback through this unit is the only way to see 1 camera at a time.
To be able to copy 1 camera shot to a DVD, this is what you need to do: You need to have a TV with Video in and Video out jacks. Connect the Quad to the TV Video in jack and connect the TV Video out jack to your DVD Video in jack. Playback a single camera shot on the quad to the TV and hit record on your DVD. - The DVD will record whatever is shown on the TV.

My Swann DVR4-1200 has a "R" constantly on the screen when its not recording. When it is recording it shows a 'M" but nothing records. Its like it knows it should be recording but it doesn't.

As far as I am aware, 'm' means that the camera will record when motion is detected, otherwise it just monitors without recording.

HOW DO I GET MOTION DETECTION TO WORK?

Are you sure the cameras are capable of motion sensing and make sure that you do not need an additional control cable to the camera to make that work.

Motion recording for Swann dvr4

Have you switched cameras to AUTO (A) on settings line. Is the sensitivity for motion turned on and set correctly =
1= very sensitive 9 = less sensitive.

Setting areas are shaded = no recording area
unshaded = recording area

Hope this helps - good luck.
