Motion Alerts & Device Settings
How to view motion-detection alerts in the Message Center, and how to configure device settings such as reboot, alarm frequency, HDD/TF formatting, factory reset, and per-channel motion detection.
Viewing Saved Snapshots and Clips
The Image Management screen stores snapshots and video clips that were captured within the app. This data is saved to your smartphone's storage — not to the recorder's internal HDD.
Tap Picture to see saved snapshots, or Video to see saved clips. Tap any thumbnail to view that file.
Tap the
button in the top-right corner to enter edit mode. In edit mode you can select files to share (for example via LINE) or delete them.
These files are captured within the app and are stored on your smartphone, not on the recorder's internal HDD. Accumulating a large number of files will consume your phone's available storage. Delete unnecessary files regularly.
Motion Detection Alerts
When the recorder detects motion, the app sends a push notification alert. This feature works automatically once the following two conditions are met:
- Motion detection is enabled on the recorder itself.
- The device is registered in the app with administrator-level permissions.
You can review the alert history using the Message Center.
Tap the menu button
in the top-left corner of the screen.

Tap Message Center in the side menu.

The Message Center displays a list of all notifications. You can filter the list using the buttons at the top of the screen.

| Filter button | Description |
|---|---|
| Filter by date | |
| Filter by detection type | |
| Filter by registered device |
Tap an individual notification to view its details.

Device Configuration
You can adjust basic recorder and per-channel settings directly from the app. Available settings include: Reboot, Alarm Frequency, HDD/TF Format, Factory Reset, and per-channel Motion Detection.
Settings changes made through the app may not be reflected correctly depending on your network environment, smartphone compatibility, and device specifications. For more reliable configuration, it is recommended to make setting changes directly on the recorder using a mouse.
Tap the menu button
in the top-left corner.

Tap Device Configuration in the side menu.

Tap My devices to display the devices available for configuration.

If no device name appears here, the device has not been registered with administrator-level permissions. Re-register the device using an administrator account.
To configure recorder-level settings, tap the
icon to the right of the device name to open the settings panel.
To configure per-channel settings, tap the device name to expand its channel list, then tap the channel number.
Reboot
Open the recorder's settings panel and tap Reboot. The recorder will restart in approximately 1 minute.
Alarm Frequency
Open the settings panel and tap Alarm Frequency. Select the desired notification interval — Off, 2 min, 5 min, or 10 min — then tap Done.
This setting controls how often the app sends push notifications. The recorder itself still performs motion detection at the frequency configured on the device.
HDD / TF Format
Open the recorder's settings panel and tap Local Storage.

Tap Disk Management.

The Local Storage screen opens. Tap Edit in the top-right corner.

Select the disk by checking its checkbox, then tap Format.

Formatting takes approximately 1 minute to complete.
Formatting the disk permanently deletes all recorded footage. Proceed with caution.
Factory Reset
Open the recorder's settings panel and tap Reset. A confirmation message appears in English — tap Done to execute the reset. The reset completes in approximately 2 minutes.
A factory reset restores all recorder settings to their defaults. Depending on your environment, the recorder may no longer be reachable from the app after the reset. Proceed with caution.
Per-Channel Motion Detection
Open the channel's settings screen and tap Normal Alarm under the Alarm Configuration section.

Tap Motion Detection.

Tap the Motion Detection toggle to turn it on (shown in red).
