schedule, regardless of movement or any other triggers.
• Motion detection: records a video clip up to about 40
seconds long each time the camera’s sensor detects
movement.
• Digital input: records a video clip up to about 40 seconds
long each time the camera receives a trigger from the
digital input. For details about how to use digital input and
output (DIDO), see “Configuring cameras” on page 44.
This option only takes effect if the camera supports DIDO.
• Audio detection: records a video clip up to about 40
seconds long each time the camera detects audio
activities. You can define the audio sensitivity when
configuring camera settings. For details, see “Configuring
cameras” on page 44.
• PIR detection: PIR based motion detection senses the
movement of people, animals, and other objects that
produce heat energy.
Note: Some recording types may not be available for your
camera.
If you want to use different recording types at different times,
click Add schedule to specify them. For example, you could
instruct the camera to start recording for motion detection
during the day and PIR detection at night.
