Hi,

I have a camera aimed at the front door and side of the house.
I want to start recording when motion is detected, however I only want to be notified when motion is detected at the front door.

I've read somewhere that this can be done by duplicating the camera (which should take little to no resources ?), but I cant find how to duplicate the camera.
Or is this just adding a new camera and entering the same information all over again ?

Thx in advance !

Yes, just add it again and enter the same information, except give it a different name or else it won't let you save. You can use the export/import feature to accelerate this.

There seems to be some problems with the dummy camera.

- Sometimes when looking at the configuration, the mask of the 'original' and 'dummy' cam are switched.
- When clicking on the dummy/original cam, the alert list on the right is not updated ...
- Motion isn't recorded anymore on the original cam, although it is enabled 'when triggered'

Anyone else seen this ?
