Set up Camera Recordings
Before your camera will record activity in your home, you must create a mode from the Home Monitoring and Control Web site that will tell the camera when to record motion in your room. When you set up your mode, you'll program the camera to begin recording when activity is detected in your room.
Important: If you don’t create a camera mode, you can still view live-streaming video from the Home Monitoring Web site, FiOS TV or smartphone, but it won’t record motion unless you create a mode that triggers the camera to record.
