Configuring recording

The Recording tab allows you to control the recording of images

Recording

• Record Motion Images will instruct iCatcher Console to save to disk every image in which motion has been detected
• Only Show Motion in the Feed Window will make iCatcher Console only update the feed on-screen when motion is detected. By default, each image retrieved from the camera is displayed. Enabling this options will mean that overlays such as timestamps will not get updated unless there is motion

Pre- and Post-Event recording

Pre- and Post-event recording allow you to capture the images before and after an event so that you can record the images before and after motion occurs even though those images may not have been tagged as motion. In this way you could, for example, review the images for 15seconds before and after motion was detected

Heartbeat Images

Enabling this will periodically save an image to disk regardless of whether motion has occurred. This is useful when there are prolonged periods of no motion, and you’d like to be able to confirm this
