To set up the MobiCam (using the MOBI Smart App) to record via motion detection as the trigger, follow the steps outlined below.
*Please keep in mind that due to the limitations of the app, MobiCam will record for one minute, every time there is motion detection. So, if there is constant motion in a room for 1 hour, the MobiCam will record for the entirety of that hour. Should it be necessary, the recording feature can be manually disabled via the settings menu.*
Begin by inserting a microSD card, up to 128gb, into the MobiCam. This will be the storage location for the recordings.
To set this automation, tap the 🔆 Smart icon from the Main Screen.
- Press the red (+) button to add a new automation.
- From the "Create Smart" screen, tap "When device status changes"
- Tap "IPC" (Or the name of the desired camera)
- Tap "Motion Detection", then "Motion Detection"
- From the "Set up Task" screen, tap "Run the device"
- Tap "IPC" (Or the name of the desired camera)
- Tap "SD recording on/off" and set to "On"
- Tap "Save"
Choose the sensitivity of the Motion detector, as well as if the alarm triggers every time motion is detected.
Afterward, save the settings and will move onto the second part of the automation, following the same format as the first.
- Press the red (+) button to add a new automation.
- From the "Create Smart" screen, tap "When device status changes"
- Tap "IPC" (Or the name of the desired camera)
- Tap "Motion Detection", then "Motion Detection"
- From the "Set up Task" screen, tap "Run the device"
- Tap "Delay", then set for 1-2 Minutes (or more, depending on preference)
- Tap "Next"
- Navigate to "Task", and press the red (+) button
- Tap "Run the device", then "IPC" (Or the name of the desired camera)
- Tap "SD recording on/off" and set to "On"
- Tap "Save", then tap "Next"
- Scroll down and set "Effective Period" to "All day", then tap "Save"
These two automations represent the two states that the camera can be in: triggered to record data based on movement, then triggered to stop recording based on lack of movement.
To enable the new automations, please follow these steps:
- Open"IPC" (Or the name of the desired camera) used in the automation, and tap [ /_ ]
- Scroll down to tap "Storage Settings"
- Change "Local Recording" to "On" (This option allows the automation to record to the local microSD card inserted into the camera.)
- Change "Event Recording" to "Non-Stop"
Now the MobiCam is ready to execute the Smart Automations!
