24/7 HD footage is recorded locally on the camera with a microSD card. You can view live and recorded video on the Alarm.com website and mobile app from anywhere using the SmartView video timeline to search for important events, such as a person detected or a door accessed and jump straight to the corresponding footage.

Recording days cannot be guaranteed and will vary widely depending on the amount of motion in the camera’s viewing scene. Below is a table of estimated recording days based on moderate motion for different recording quality settings and card capacities.

Calibration, combined with video analytics best practices, provides cameras with an accurate view of each unique location where they're installed.

The calibration process itself is used to more thoroughly customize the video analytics performance by giving the camera context into where a person could enter, exit or move around within the field of view.

Verify that the person's entire body is in the field of view for each photo.

After taking each photo, take a few steps backward relative to the field of view instead of side-to-side.

Use a mobile device instead of the customer website to make it easier to move around and take photos.

Users can use the customer app or website to calibrate certain video devices for video analytics. The calibration process involves taking five still images of a person in different locations visible to the camera.

Video Analytics continuously scans a property and sends a notification when a person, vehicle or animal is identified. Advanced detection rules enhance perimeter security by sending alerts when someone is coming or going, or even loitering on the property.

With Video Analytics, enhanced notifications are sent with thumbnail images showing people, vehicles and animals. Advanced detection rules can also be used to draw virtual tripwires across driveways and virtual fenced-in zones for a property.

Email and text notifications can be sent whenever the following example events occur:

Video Analytics can spot what's important, even if a lot is going on.

Avoid drawing Tripwires or Ground Zones over objects that might move by themselves (e.g. trees, bushes or other objects that move from the wind).

Only draw the rule where the feet or wheels of an object should cross.

:

Including the bush and the garage door will make it difficult to identify objects. In this case, reduce the size of the ground zone to only include the driveway.

:

This is a good example as it excludes the bush and garage door.

You can create up to three rules to capture separate areas of interest (e.g. a camera that monitors two entrances might need two tripwire rules, each one covering one of the entrances).

An must be created for the camera in order for it to start recording.

Onboard Recording schedules will be automatically created if the camera was installed within the last 12 hours and has a new SD card inserted. When the schedule is created, the primary account holder will be notified by email.

If the schedule is not created on the first attempt, make sure to:
