In my opinion that was one of the best options the mdvr has going for it. Anything requiring you to hit more than one button or a button more than once is a step in the wrong direction. How can you not like an auto on auto record switch??? You are not wasting disk space or battery since it does not turn on or record until you hit the button. Now it sounds like you will have to turn it on then hit record. If that is so this unit will be a no go for me at least with the lawmate you can make it instant record when you hit the power button.

Easy answer, how many times have you accidentally recorded? A Bet a few. I've done it numerous times. In my case, while handling the gun, etc.
This is still a simple operation and I may be able to have it changed, still working on that. What I like is it will be a flush button, that's the main issue I have with the mdvr.
To have to hit the button twice, come on, harder to turn in the scope than it is to record. I agree though, I do like things simple, so I'll work in it and see if it's possible. Most of this type of full HD DVR's are configured a certain way, I'm just trying to fine tune a product and keep it affordable.
I'm also trying to cut the cost even further. When you jump up to true HD DVR, it almost doubles the price. The good thing, it has that annoying buzzing sounds when it comes on lol, just like the mdvr and lawmate.

I have not turned it off once or twice but easily noticed the lights in the dark. But I have forgot to hit record or had someone else forget to hit record more times than I care to think of. For me instant on record is the best.

Yea I think it's a habit, I was on a big hog tonight, just walking with my truck running. I hit the button to turn in the Lawmate, but record, red light not in, what? Didn't have it plugged in lol. I'm usually anal about it. But when I out the gun in the case, I disconnect cable from zeus.
Long story on the hog. 120 SST hit like a hammer, thwack, hog keeps walking like it wasn't even hit. 90 % humidity and 120 yards and it for behind stuff, couldn't get a shot.

Yea, seems like there is some sort of control over this, kind of like oil prices.
The issue we have, you also, since your have a zeus, is horizontal lines in the video.
I believe it is only Armasight with this problem. If you watch videos on youtube, the Thor, IR Hunter, RS, don't have lines in their video when connected to the mdvr.
I bought a Lawmate, no lines, yet I believe it still records 720x480 NTSC same as the mdvr for the analog camera input. But somehow it renders the signal different? TVL? Not sure.
I'm going to try this new dvr, need to find something with better affordability than the Lawmate, which I unfortunately found out doesn't have a built in mic.
