Alarm Zone Detection Video Events

When a system is armed and goes into alarm, a clip is recorded and populates in Events. If the system is unarmed and a person, vehicle, or animal enters the detection region or line, no event is recorded.

Note: If any detection region or line on the camera is set as an alarm zone, all detections for that camera only record events when the zone is armed and has been tripped.
