Recording
Configuration
Record Mode Allows you to define the recording mode of
the selected camera.
• Don’t change This option only appears when multiple
cameras are selected. Choosing this option keeps the
cameras in their current recording mode.
• Don’t record Nothing will be recorded by the camera.
• Always record Enables the camera to record all the
time, regardless if there is motion detected or not.
• Record only motion All captured images are analyzed
and only recorded when motion is detected.
• Record on schedule Allows you to set up a specific
recording schedule for each individual camera.
Choosing this Record Mode will display a Schedule
option. Click the Schedule drop-down menu to create a
new schedule or select from a list of existing schedules.
- New Schedule To create a new recording schedule,
click and drag a block of time on each day you would
like the camera to record. When you are finished,
click Save. You can also update or delete an existing
schedule by clicking to view it in edit mode.
Resolution Choose one of the following three resolutions
to use for the selected camera: High, Medium, or Low.
Note: The displayed resolution for High, Medium,
and Low is hardware-dependent.
Motion Detection
Zones Click Configure to edit motion zones for the
selected camera. This option does not appear if multiple
cameras are selected, as zones are configured individually.
Minimum Motion Event Trigger Drag the slider control
left or right to set the minimum duration (0 to 10 seconds)
that motion must take place to trigger recording.
(X Seconds Before -> Actual Motion -> X Seconds After Motion)
End Motion Event Delay The number of seconds that
must elapse before a camera considers motion to have
stopped.
Seconds To Record Before Enter the number of seconds
you want UniFi Video to record before the triggering
motion occurs on the selected camera.
Seconds To Record After Enter the number of seconds
you want UniFi Video to record after the triggering motion
occurs on the selected camera.
Configuring a Zone
Adjustment Points
By default, the initial zone for each camera is the entire
viewing area captured in the live feed window. Click
and drag the Adjustment Points from each corner of the
window to the perimeter of the area you would like to
define as your zone. Only motion within this zone will
trigger recording.
Click to test the zone you just created and adjust
the sensitivity using the Sensitivity Slider control. Image
trails will appear when motion is detected and the
sensitivity level and motion spikes will appear in the
bottom right corner of the camera feed. The sensitivity
level (from 0 to 100) is shown in the box to the right of the
slider control. As various degrees of motion occur, you’ll
see different level spikes. Adjust the sensitivity to a level
that best suits your needs. Motion spikes that exceed
the defined sensitivity threshold will be recorded when
motion recording is enabled. Click Test Zone again to stop
the test.
