What Is Motion-Triggered Video Clip Setup?
Motion-triggered video clip setup enables your security cameras to automatically start recording short video clips when they detect motion.
Rather than recording continuously, the system captures only when activity occurs—saving bandwidth, storage, and your time.
Smart Shield Systems installs and configures these systems to match your property layout, desired detection zones, and mobile preferences for seamless control and notifications.
Camera & Location Evaluation
We assess your property layout to determine where motion-triggered recording is most effective.
Smart Camera Configuration
We configure cameras with built-in motion sensors or external triggers to activate recording on movement.
Custom Motion Zones
We set detection areas and sensitivity levels to reduce false alerts and ensure accurate clip capture.
Clip Storage & Management Setup
We configure your system to store short, event-triggered clips locally or in the cloud, with time-stamped logs.
Mobile & Email Notifications
Receive instant alerts with links to video clips via your preferred method—text, push, or email.
Training & Support
We teach you how to review clips, adjust zones, and retrieve footage—plus offer ongoing technical support.
