Record on motion

The feature Record on motion allows a quick and simple configuration of an alarm recording.

Record on motion does not replace a complete alarm scenario (see Alarms).

  1. Activate Enable record on motion if there should be an alarm recording as the result of an enabled server-based or camera-based motion detection.
  2. Deactivate Enable record on motion. You will be asked if server-based motion detection should be deactivated.
  3. Specify a pre-alarm duration.
  4. Specify a post alarm duration.

You must have either server-side or camera-side motion detection enabled first prior to enabling record on motion in this screen. For this type of motion detection, there is no set duration. If there is motion, it will be recorded. If motion stops, recording stops. Also, the Idle timer or Dead time value in the server-side/camera-side motion detection screens is ignored with Record on Motion.
