detected on the current channel. (e.g. if you are setting motion detection on channel 1 and you choose
cameras 1, 2 and 3 here, when camera 1 detects motion all three cameras will start recording).
4. On the “Live” menu, choose a suitable “Post-record Time”. Set this to how long you want the recording to
continue after on-screen movement has stopped.
