I want to run two cameras in motion but can't

[Veteran]

I have five camera's I'm sure I noticed all motions "MEN" were on when I started with this system and that i turned them of. Now I want to run two camera's in Motion mode but after many days of trying to figure it out I'm stumped. Is the issue because I'm on the basic free package?

This is not a user frendly piece of equipment.

Did you try to call support? There's a Support link at the top of the page. Forums are an informal way of communicating while using the official support mechanism is the recommended way of actually receiving support.

You may have to make new Modes, by default you have ARMED ( all on ) and DISARMED ( all off )

If you have cams A, B, C ;

mode 1 could have A on only

mode 2 could have B on only

mode 3 could have C on only

mode 4 could have A & B on only

mode 5 could be A & C

last would be B & C

( use the combos you need but not necess all )

Go to ( after log in ) click on current mode on upper left

Box shows up with current modes

Click CREATE NEW MODE

follow steps,  naming the mode so u know waht it does.  Don't forget to save when needed ( usu at bottom of screen )
