mgb 0 Posted August 14, 2014 The camera (or recording device) reconizes movement within the view and you can set it to do things based on that like record or record at a higher resolution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcw1965 0 Posted August 14, 2014 so basically it only records when movement is detected Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgb 0 Posted August 14, 2014 That's one way you can set it up. You can program it so that it only records on motion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcw1965 0 Posted August 14, 2014 is there a pause in recording when using motion detection ? That's one way you can set it up. what other ways can you set it up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgb 0 Posted August 14, 2014 Another example is where someone may record all the time at a lower resolution or frame rate (basically how smooth the recorded motion is) but then upon motion, they can have it set to go to a higher resolution and or frame rate. a business may want everything recorded during business hours but only motion at night when no one should be there. The main benefit to using motion only recording is to save room on the hard drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcw1965 0 Posted August 14, 2014 do you think is worth having motion detection or just record 24/7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
