When I set new modes to have one camera trigger and record and then have other cameras record at the same time (3 differant modes) I have to go into each mode and adjust the motion sensitivity for that trigger camera in each mode, you would think that adjusting the motion sensitivity for the trigger camera once it would change it in all modes. Maybe something for the techs to look at.

In "nested rules" , I always found it better to set the sense levels all the same amount

Nested rules? I have the trigger camera set the same in all modes but you would think if you set the sence level for that camera it would follow through to all the modes but it doesnt. You have to go through each mode and set the sence level the same for that camera.

A MODE is a set of RULES .... each mode can have different sense levels, etc...

It would be a nice feature to be able to copy and paste rules between modes. But I understand why changing a camera's motion sensitivity in one mode shouldn't change the sensitivity of the same camera in another mode. It almost defeats the purpose of having modes.
Unfortunately, you'll have to go through the same rigmarole as me of setting up each individual rule for each individual mode. Once you've done it, and sorted out your correct sensitivities and changed them all, your system will just run great and give minimal false recordings while recording what you need to be recorded
