5.3 Recording
The system records directly to the included 32GB micro SD card. It supports up to 512GB memory cards. Recordings are typically triggered by motion detection, but continuous recording options may also be available through the monitor's settings.

The CasaCam VS5072 Deluxe system employs Smart Motion Detection, utilizing both heat (PIR sensor) and video motion detection to minimize false alarms. This dual-sensor approach helps distinguish between significant events and environmental factors like insects or shadows.

These settings can be adjusted independently via the monitor's menu to suit your security needs.
