Settings in Surveillance Station should vary depending on whether or not you are on site. For instance, cameras should record continuously and stop sending notifications when you are present, but once you are away, cameras should record videos by motion detection and resume sending notifications. You no longer need to change these system settings manually each time you enter or leave an area, Home Mode allows you to change system settings rapidly, and easily.
In Home Mode, you can customize recording, notification, stream profile, and action rule settings to meet the needs of various environments. Home Mode provides you an intuitive interface to switch between different modes. You can log into Surveillance Station to switch modes with a click, by schedule, or by geofence location via DS cam, which detects whether or not you are on site, and auto switches to Home Mode accordingly.
If you want the system to enter or leave Home Mode immediately, you can switch to Home Mode manually.
When geofence devices enter a specific region, the system will determine that the device is located within the geofence region. For instance, you can set a circular region around your home with a diameter of 30 meters for the geofence region. When you enter this region, the system will enter Home Mode automatically without having to switch manually.
If you are home at a fixed time (e.g. week nights), you can choose to switch to Home Mode by schedule.
If you do not wish to record videos by motion detection when you are at home, you can customize recording schedules in Home Mode.
To apply different notification settings when you are at home (e.g. canceling push services), you can customize notification settings in Home Mode.
To record videos with a lower resolution and save storage space when you are at home, you can customize stream profiles in Home Mode.
To activate different action rules when you are at home, you can choose which action rules to activate when entering Home Mode.
