The most commonly used combination is On alarm and 1280 x 720, this will get good quality video
and only record when needed.
You also get the option to change the length o each video clip, whether to record sound or not and
i you would like the loop recording eature enabled.
By de ault each clip will be 3 minutes long, this means that should the battery drain whilst in use you
will not lose any ootage. I you set the recording length to, or example, 30 minutes and the battery
drains a ter recording 17 minutes worth then the whole recording will be wiped. It is best to leave
the recording time at the de ault 3 minutes; i there is still motion then a new ile will start recording
as soon as the current one has inished.
Having sound on the video is not always needed; i you do not want sound then the video iles will
be slightly smaller in size so you can record more video.
Loop recording, should you not already know, is where a camera can overwrite the earliest iles
when the memory is ull. Loop recording is use ul as you don’t ever need to delete the old recorded
iles as they are automatically deleted to make space or new ones. The only time you need to look
at the iles is when something has happened, in this case you would copy the iles over to your PC
or sa e keeping.
Alarm (motion detection)
The On alarm unction has already been mentioned in the video settings, it is o ten known as motion
detection.
In the main settings menu select Alarm Config, you will now have a number o options (Figure 23) to
select rom to get the best out o the clock.
Figure 23

Your irst option is whether you want motion detection enabled or not, it has di erent sensitivity
levels as shown in Figure 24. I you want the clock to record at the slightest movement select level
1; i you want to it only activate when there is some obvious big movement then select level 7. Most
users select level 4 as that is the mid-way point giving you a sensitivity that is just right or human
activation.
Figure 24
Another option you have is a warning tone, this will noti y you o any movement i you have the app
open or running in the background on your phone or tablet.
The alarm interval is or the warning tone and a eature that should be set up i you are using it; it
can be set between 30 and 300 seconds. I you do not want to be plagued with noti ications then
you want to set this to a minimum o 180 seconds; this matches the de ault recording time o 3
minutes.
A ter you have set up the alarm and the noti ication interval you are ready to go, press OK and you
will exit this area.

live as shown in Figure 25.
Figure 25
I you tap the live stream you will get some options appear. The top 3 controls (Figure 26) e ect the
playback o the video, irst o is the picture quality.
Figure 26 Figure 27
You have 4 options or the video quality: HD, High, Normal and Low Bandwidth. By de ault it will be
Low Bandwidth but you can change it to any you want, obviously HD is the best streaming quality.
HD should only be used when you have your phone or tablet on a WiFi network as streaming in HD
can eat through your data plan very ast. I running through a mobile network only use Low
Bandwidth.
The next two options are brightness and contrast. Brightness will make the image lighter and darker
whereas the contrast will make image richer or more washed out in colour.

•Send sound (not supported by this camera)

•Move image vertically (only works on certain streams)
•Flip image horizontally
•Flip image vertically
Only 3 o these options are commonly used all o which are marked with *. Sometimes you want to
stream sound rom the clock, this will use more data. Taking a screenshot o something can be
use ul or evidence as can a video. I you have set the clock up to record on motion detection then
you will not likely used these two options.
