Notes:

  • For cameras with smart detection, there are four detection types: any motion, person, vehicle, and pet/animal. Tick to choose which types of recording you want the camera to record. If you choose Any Motion only, then it will only detect normal motions and you can't see Person, Vehicle, Pet/Animal recording while playback.
  • The detection types vary from different models of your camera, and some cameras (8MP and 12MP) support setting the recording for your pet. For some models which do not support smart detection, there is no detection type that can be chosen. The camera record all motion-triggered alarm events.
