Motion Detection
If the RedAlert recorded everything it saw all the time, you’d wind up with hundreds of images (or hours of video) where nothing is happening! That’s not very useful for anyone, as it would fill up the SD card too fast, and leave you searching through hundreds (or more) files to try and find the incident you are after!
Thus, to save storage space – not to mention your time and sanity – the RedAlert is designed to record short videos (10 seconds in length) or take a series of still images whenever something happens in view of the camera. We call this MOTION DETECTION.
To turn MOTION DETECTION ON or OFF:
1.Press MENU.
2.Use LEFT and RIGHT to navigate to the MOTION DETECTION icon.
3.Press OK to toggle MOTION DETECTION to ON or OFF, depending on your preference.
4.The MOTION DETECTION icon will be displayed in the top left of the screen whilst enabled.
Viewing Live Images
By default, the RedAlert will boot up straight into LIVE VIEWING MODE. The DISP button will cycle between displaying a WIRED and a WIRELESS camera connected to the RedAlert.
The RedAlert is capable of displaying images from two cameras at a time. To achieve this, one of the cameras must be wired, the other wireless. As the picture from one camera is displayed in miniature within the other camera’s picture, this is referred to as Picture In Picture mode (PIP MODE) .
1.Press DISP once to switch between the WIRED and WIRELESS camera.
2.Press DISP again to activate PIP MODE.
3.Press DISP a third time if you wish to swap the positions of the main and miniature images.
4.Note that whilst the RedAlert can display two images at once, it can only record one at a time.
