Exactly! This will also eliminate short duration closely timed events and cause them to be shown as 1 event. I've eliminated 2/3rds of my events by finding the sweet spot for this setting.

While your messing with the buffers; I like to see a couple seconds prior to the event trigger so I've increased my pre buffer to taste. Pre uses additional resources but you said that wasn't a problem. The post buffer doesn't increase load at all so don't be afraid to have as long a trailer as you ...

Increase the post buffer to 5 or more seconds. The value is in frames so you do the math. I use a 130 frame buffer with monitors set at 10 fps.

And you're very welcome!

Your very welcome and I'm monitoring this freq.; um, this thread.

The difference is the amount of processing that's required. Fast will be a lower load on the system then Best sensitivity. For what you're trying to do try selecting no preset, change blobs to pixels, change percent to pixels, and play around. Get ready for a lot of the latter. There's no way for me...
