I have had a couple recorded over the past week, but like Jim said I need a 
time.

Hi Ed,

It would help to have a date and exact time.

Even if the cameras do not capture anything, an operator can go back and
make a movie (Sandia./NMSU network) for the time stated to determine if
there was anything out side of what triggers the recording to take place.

Cheers!

Jim
