Are you doing constant recording or event recording?

If your apartment is an area classified as low and moderate traffic, it’s better to do Event Recording or Motion Recording. The IR sensor system has sensors that are Passive Infrared and detect heat from moving objects.

Here, the camera is in standby mode and records only when it detects the movement of objects that emit heat, like people, vehicles, animals. If leaves fall, there’s no heat in the movement, so the camera doesn’t record. When you’re doing motion recording, you choose where to effectively store the video, whether to store it in an SD card, NVR, your computer, or in the cloud.

  • If you’re monitoring your children, 24/7 Recording or Constant Recording is the better option. Constant recording is also good for areas classified as high-traffic.
