Be very careful not to create circular dependencies with this feature however you will have infinitely persisting alarms which is almost certainly not what you want! To unlink monitors you can ctrl-click. You can either directly enter a comma separated list of monitor ids or click on ‘Select’ to choose a selection. So if you have a camera covering one aspect of your property you can force all cameras to record while that camera detects motion or other events. Linked Monitors This field allows you to select other monitors on your system that act as triggers for this monitor. If not enabled then the monitor will not create any events in response to motion or any other triggers. You will nearly always want to check this box, the only exceptions being when you want the camera to be enabled or disabled by external triggers or scripts. Enabled The enabled field indicates whether the monitor should be started in an active mode or in a more passive state. Generally speaking it is best to choose ‘Monitor’ as an initial setting here. In Nodect no motion detection takes place but events are recorded if external triggers require it. This is a special mode designed to be used with external triggers. Mocord – The monitor will be continuously recorded, with any motion being highlighted within those events.No motion detection takes place in this mode. Events of a fixed-length will be generated regardless of motion, analogous to a conventional time-lapse video recorder. Record – The monitor will be continuously recorded.All captured images will be analysed and events generated with recorded video where motion is detected. No image analysis is done so no alarms or events will be generated, and nothing will be recorded. Monitor – The monitor is only available for live streaming.No streams can be viewed or events generated. None – The monitor is currently disabled.
