Name Description
Built-in motion detection
Select this check box to record video in which motion (see "Motion
detection & exclude regions" on page 94) is detected. Unless post-
recording (see the following) is used, recording will stop
immediately after the last motion is detected.
On event
Select this check box to record video when an event occurs and
until another event occurs. Use of recording on event requires that
events (see "Overview of events and output" on page 104) have
been defined, and that you select start and stop events in the
neighboring lists.
Use the Configure events list, located below the other fields to
define events that suit your needs.
Start Event
Select required start event. Recording will begin when the start
event occurs (or earlier if using pre-recording; see the following).
Stop Event
Select required stop event. Recording will end when the stop event
occurs (or later if using post-recording; see the following).
Enable pre-recording
Available only when the option Conditional is selected. Specify the
number of seconds for which you want to record video from before
recording start conditions (that is motion or start event) are met.
Enable post-recording
Available only when the option Conditional is selected. Specify the
number of seconds for which you want to record video after
recording stop conditions (that is motion end or stop event) are met.
