Hi!

 

I have an 3 camera setup, and having troubles getting the system to do as i want it to.

 

My setup is as follows:

 

Driveway - #1

Garden - #2

Kitchen - #3

 

What i want is to set the two outdoor cameras to be masters - Motion detection in both the driveway and my garden.

If Driveway detects motion - This, and kitchen should start recording.

 

If garden detects motion, this and the kitchen should start recording.

 

Kitchen should not have any motion detection due to us having 2 pretty large dogs - But should still start recording the moment one of the two outside cameras detects something..

 

I simply can't get it set up like this nomatter what i try..

 

Can you guys help me out?

DonHansen,

 

This can be done by setting up additional rules for your cameras. Consider starting by creating a new custom mode. Then create a rule that tells the Driveway camera to trigger itself when it detects motion. Then create a second rule that tells the Driveway camera to trigger the Kitchen camera when it detects motion. Then create the same two rules for the Garden camera. One to trigger itself and one to trigger recording on the Kitchen camera. No additional rules will be needed for what you described.

 

For step by step instructions on how modes and rules are created, take a look at this article: How do I create and define Modes & Rules?

 

Let me know if you still need help!

Thank you!
I was not aware that it was possible to make two rules for one camera.

Thanks!
