This can be one of the following; - None – The monitor is currently disabled. No streams can be viewed or events generated. Nothing is recorded. - Monitor – The monitor is only available for live streaming. No image analysis is done so no alarms or events will be generated, and nothing will be recorded. - Modect – or MOtion DEteCTtion. All captured images will be analysed and events generated with recorded video where motion is detected. - Record – The monitor will be continuously recorded. Events of a fixed-length will be generated regardless of motion, analogous to a conventional time-lapse video recorder. No motion detection takes place in this mode. - Mocord – The monitor will be continuously recorded, with any motion being highlighted within those events. - Nodect – or No DEteCTtion. This is a special mode designed to be used with external triggers. In Nodect no motion detection takes place but events are recorded if external triggers require it. + * None – The monitor is currently disabled. No streams can be viewed or events generated.

The format of this string is as follows, - n : If you simply enter a number then the monitor will be activated when an X10 ON signal for that unit code is detected and will be deactivated when an OFF signal is detected. - !n : This inverts the previous mode, e.g. !5 means that the monitor is activated when an OFF signal for unit code 5 is detected and deactivated by an ON. - n+ : Entering a unit code followed by + means that the monitor is activated on receipt of a ON signal for that unit code but will ignore the OFF signal and as such will not be deactivated by this instruction. If you prepend a '!' as per the previous definition it similarly inverts the mode, i.e. the ON signal deactivates the monitor. - n+ : As per the previous mode except that the monitor will deactivate itself after the given number of seconds. - n- : Entering a unit code followed by - means that the monitor is deactivated on receipt of a OFF signal for that unit code but will ignore the ON signal and as such will not be activated by this instruction.
