There are two different types of video events in Virtual Keypad: Standard Detection Region and Alarm Zone Detection Region.

Standard video detection regions record a clip every time a person enters the detection region and populates it in Events on Virtual Keypad.

Alarm zone detection regions will have the system go into alarm and record a clip that populates in Events if a person enters the detection region while the system is armed. If the system is unarmed and a person enters the detection region, no event will be recorded.
