EDIT: The camera is actually the DVR-207GS from Spytec Inc, but I have been calling it the DVR-207 this whole time.
I just got a new DVR-207GS from SPYTEC and I'm having trouble triggering the motion sensor. I am testing the motion sensor by sitting the camera in a room and walking across the room at distances between 1-4 meters. The problem is that my motion does not trigger the camera! :x The only thing that will trigger the motion sensor is if I quickly wave my hand right in front of the camera, or a slight nudge to the camera also triggers the motion sensor.
Furthermore, motion detection mode does not work at night even if I drive by lighted areas (street lights, lighted buildings) or if cars' lights appear/disappear from behind me (the camera is mounted rear facing near the rear window).
Does anyone else have trouble with the camera being very insensitive to motion? I chose the DVR-207GS only for its motion sensitivity as I plan to use it to watch my car when I park it for a day or two (I have already successfully hardwired the charger to the car for parking mode). My camera settings are 0 EV, 720p, 30fps, 2 min video intervals, motion detection on, IR leds off, audio recording on, date stamp on, gsensor low (also tested with gsensor off).
