My DOGS Corner an intruder WHILE I'm setting up security cameras!

What happens here

Turn the camera to the 'Set' position to access the menu. Navigate through the settings using the arrow and 'OK' buttons. First, change the 'Mode' from 'Photo' to 'Video' or 'Photo/Video' depending on preference (video is selected here). Set the 'Video Quality' to '1080p' for clear footage, noting that higher resolution reduces total recording time. Set the 'Video Length' to '10 seconds' per recording to capture adequate detail without excessive file sizes. The 'Video Format' is set to 'MP4' for broad compatibility. A 'Detection Delay' of '10 seconds' is applied to prevent the camera from continuously recording the same movement, saving battery and storage. Finally, adjust the 'PIR Sensitivity' to 'Low' for cold environments to avoid false triggers from minor temperature fluctuations.

Goal: Optimize camera settings for motion-activated video surveillance in a cold environment.

so we're gonna go right down the video boom photo quality 4 megapixels we don't care about that we're not using it video quality 1080p if we use 720 we won't get quite as much we'll get more recording time lower quality 1080s perfect higher resolution cuts back on your recording time video length we're going to go for 10 second bursts or 10 seconds at a time now this will capture video and audio which is pretty damn cool mp4 that's the format we want a 10 second detection delay what that means is if something moves it's not going to shoot for 10 seconds and then what happens why you're like why would i want that well then when it's done recording what it'll do it'll wait 10 seconds before it'll start recording again that way you're not getting hundreds of continual bursts all in a row pir sensitivity that's that sensor on the front if you're in a warm humid area perfect high is great we're cold we're going low we don't want to capture everything and we don't want false readings because the temperature delays motion tests basically we can set the camera up walk in front of it and if we see the red light in the front flashing that shows us exactly where it will and won't capture so when i go out into the world and i set these cameras up i can do a motion test and i can determine if it's picking me up or not without going through the hassle of taking pictures and doing that sort of thing let's go see if they've stole anything over at shangri-la douche i do have more
