motion is detected, the system automatically saves the previous frames and stop based on the Start
Record Prior and Stop Record After settings.
-
Smart Recording
Automatically switch to recorded at the maximum frame rate setting once a motion is detected and if
there is no motion, it records at the minimum frame rate setting Set the maximum and minimum frame
rate setting in
