How to setup the HomeHawk motion detection notifications and recordings when motion is detected. - HomeHawk outdoor and front door cameras.

Security modes allow the access point and their connected front door cameras and outdoor cameras to operate according to pre-determined settings when an event occurs such as when motion is detected.

The same mode is used for all front door cameras and outdoor cameras connected to the same access point.

You can use preset modes, or create your own modes.

Each mode answers the following questions.

1. Which cameras record images and for how long?
2. Are cameras combined together for pre-recording?
   • Example: 2 cameras can be linked together so that if 1 camera detects motion the other camera starts pre-recording. (Images are temporarily stored, and if motion is detected later, images are then saved on the access point’s SD card.) 
3. Are notifications sent to mobile devices when motion is detected?
4. What sounds are made? – Example: Beeps, announcements, etc.

Here are some examples of how you can use modes.
