The camera is always watching and viewing the area, but it only starts recording when there is actually movement. Sensor activation is used to activate recording on the DVR when an external sensor is triggered. This could be something like an external motion detector (without a camera in it) or a house alarm or door trigger or something like that. These types of sensors are usually hard-wired into a seperate input on the back of the DVR labeled "Alarm" or "Sensor" or "Trigger" or something like that. That SHOULD be what the different modes are on your DVR.<br><b>References : </b><br> Motion activaction is when motion appears in the camera’s field of view.
