Recording constantly stops
It seems that no matter what settings I'm using, the recording will stop in the middle of motion resulting in hundreds of movies per day when really, there should only be maybe 10 or 20 events. I understand that motion detection is not perfect and may experience false positives but I can't understand why during obvious motion that the program would stop recording and then start again 1 second later. Anyone else experience this?

If I have a camera with a 20 second pre-motion buffer, and a 1 second post-motion buffer, then if I create three motions in 60 seconds each separated by a 5-second interval of no motion will that be one file, or three?
Another consideration is that SecuritySpy uses the post-capture time in order to "catch up" with recording any video buffered during the pre-capture time. It doesn't capture the buffered video immediately upon trigger (this would put too much strain on the CPU and/or disk), so instead it captures this video at double real-time speed. So it's a good idea to have a post-capture time that's significantly longer than the pre-capture time (more than double), in order to allow SecuritySpy to do this effectively. If the post-capture time is too short, there will still be a lot of frames in the buffer when the period of motion ends, and SecuritySpy has to finish processing these frames before a new capture can be started, effectively rendering SecuritySpy blind for a few seconds.
