Security light will not record

[Peter-01]

I recently bought my cameras. It had 3 cameras and 2 security lights. I could set up the cameras but the security lights was set up but it would not record anything. It would on only alert you. Do I have to have a plan for the lights to work. This was a a package deal through qvc.

You have to set up a mode with rules for the lights that include recording from the cameras. This is called cross-triggering where one device detects and cause another device to act. Thus, the light detects, turns on and also causes a camera to record. To add the camera to the lights' rules, edit your mode and use the Add Device selection to add the camera action.

If unsure how to do this, read the various FAQs here on modifying modes and rules as well as creating new custom modes.
