I have 4 wireless cameras set up on AHP.... And I only have 3 of them set up on my "Camera Scan" list..... The problem is when a sensor is tripped to start my camera scan/record macro it only records and scans on 2 cameras. And only one of the 2 is on my scan list. I have it set up to change cameras on a 5 sec. interval, is this time to short? Or is it that I have noise in the lines? Or am I missing something?

** If I pull up AHP Interface and click the "Go Live" button and then click the "Camera Scan" button it works fine... Goes throught the 3 cameras I have selected @ 5 sec. intervals..........

I can only guess at this.... but since this hasn't received a reply at least a guess brings it back up for review.

I would say your hunch about the 5 sec time (macro) being too short is correct. It would be my guess that the motion sensor keeps re-triggering the scan/record macro.

I don't know if this will help, but this is the macro that I use and it works really well.  You might have to fine tune it to your setup.  Hope this helps.   http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php?topic=11477.0
