Setting Up Motion Detection to Save Recording Space Leave a comment

CCTV hard drives can fill quickly, especially with high-resolution cameras recording 24/7. Motion detection helps conserve space by recording only when activity is detected.

Modern NVRs allow you to set motion zones, so cameras only trigger when movement occurs in key areas like doors or driveways. You can also adjust sensitivity to avoid false triggers from trees, pets, or headlights.

Motion recording not only saves space but also makes reviewing footage easier. Instead of scanning hours of empty footage, you can jump straight to moments of activity. Pair this with smart alerts on your mobile app, and you’ll be notified instantly if something happens.

Efficient storage and smarter monitoring mean you’ll get more from your CCTV system without upgrading your hard drive too soon.
