FAQ
What does the power mode setting on the sensor edit panels do?
If set to SAVE, the sensor goes into a standby sleep mode saving battery power. In the
save mode, the temperature sensor is polled about every 40 minutes rather than every 20
minutes. The other sensors respond slightly slower to events that occur in save mode.
The quality setting was changed in a camera edit panel but no change is seen the
live camera view.
Unlike the brightness and contrast settings, the quality setting does not affect the live
camera view. It only has an affect on archived image captures.
Condition: Video already in use messages seen in archives.
The message that reads Motion detected (Video already in use) is sent to the archives
when a camera PIR is triggered while another camera is obtaining a video capture. The
following steps may reduce the occurrence of this event.
1
Separate the cameras so that simultaneous triggering is less likely.
2
Shorten the length of your video captures.
3
Reposition cameras to only trigger when movement is seen in a smaller area, for
example, camera triggers when people enter the room but not when they move around
the room.
Archived video captures do not change after changing the quality setting in the
camera edit panel.
The quality setting only affects archived image captures, not video captures. If you increase
the value, the image resolution and file size are increased.
