Problem: I have several cams I want to be able to view outside for security, then I have two cams inside monitoring mousetraps. (I get mice in my house and can't poison because I am worried that my cat will eat a poisoned mouse).
Is there a way to put the mouse cams in a separate view or hide them so I don't see them in my normal view but they can still record on sensing motion? If I click hide they stop recording.
Record while hidden
Re: Record while hidden
Use 'Groups'.
On the cameras monitoring mousetraps...
1. Open camera settings.
2. On the General tab, Across from Groups, click 'Select'. If your not using groups already, this will be blank.
3. In the 'New Group' field, enter the group name you want to give these cameras, like 'Mousetraps'.
Note: Group names must be unique and be different than any camera name.
4. Click 'Add', and 'OK'. You only need to Add a new group name once.
5. For subsequent cameras, you only need to select the group and click 'OK'.
6. Do the same for the other cameras. Give a new Group name of 'All'.
Now, you can choose group 'All' to view your everyday cameras. And, choose group 'Mousetraps' to view.. well... the mousetrap cameras. To view all cameras you can select the default group 'All Cameras'.
