Hi all. Newbie with my brand new triple camera set (VMS3330)! Just trying to familiarise myself with the use of these, and it appears, to me anyway, that I can only select/use one mode at a time be it geofencing or scehduling for instance.

If I want to do the following for example, is it possible..?

Camera 1 - record on motion 24/7

Camera 2 - record on motion when I am away from home 

Camera 3 - record on motion when I am in but only in particular time window

 

Thanks in advance!

As for your question, someone may have a different answer but I don't think you can accomplish the cam1 scenario with the other requirements. You'd need either a second base station or a Q camera to do this since either way would not allow you to tie that camera to the others.  The geofencing option should allow you to configure the other two cameras as you wish, enabling GF only on cam2 and set up a mode/rule for cam3 that can be scheduled.

 

Does that help?

Thanks for the helpful reply. Shame I can't accomplish it, maybe in the future updates...

That's a hard one... tho there may be an answer for it still... I don't see it...as mentioned above

 

But Cam1 and Cam2 is a simple do with manual setting for ARMED

 

Set up one Mode 1 for cam 1 which you just manually arm and let it run

 

Mode 2 would include cam 1 and cam 2 which when leaving home, you just toggle from the first running mode over to the second as armed
