Should I record continuously or only when there is movement?
Continuously where you need a record of everything that happened, and by event where what matters is specific moments. The practical difference is what becomes of what was not recorded: with continuous you can reconstruct a whole hour; with movement, you have a collection of pieces and no way of proving what happened between two of them.
The combination that usually works better than either of the pure ones is to record all the time at a few frames per second and go up to full quality when there is an event. You keep the complete timeline, which is what makes a recording worth having, and you spend the good disc space only on what matters. Almost every system allows that dual setting per camera and per time band.
And there are points where continuous is not up for discussion: tills, entrances, high-value areas, any camera that could end up in legal proceedings. A hole in the recording in exactly the minute that matters is hard to explain, even when the explanation is that nothing was moving there.

A written answer is enough to decide whether it interests you. To know whether it works at your site you have to see it on a real scene, with the image as it is and, on top of it, what the system understands from it. That is on the IRIS Neural website, which is the group's product.
