Hi Michael,

Thanks for your response.

I have also noticed the variation in frame rate but from my perspective it 
looks more like dropped frames rather than motion choosing to save or not 
save a frame. I have it set to unconditionally save for 2 minutes past the 
last motion and as per my first msg if I try to push the configured 
framerate too high I can actually see (from watching the timecode counting 
on the screen) that it's missing frames.

Of course this is just a guess, I could be wrong. :)

Cheers.
