Settings

Before being able to record anything, you will need to specify your capture device. A capture device is what we call: a camera. This camera can be a USB, RPi or IP camera. By default the RPi camera is selected, so if you are planning to use a IP camera make sure to change it on the settings page.

The settings page allows you to modify and tweak the camera and motion settings.
