If you have a Hikvision security camera system at home, you may be wondering how you can trigger the recording function from your home automation system. Luckily, there is a way to do this! Here’s a quick guide on how to trigger hikvision recording from home automation:
1. First, you’ll need to add the Hikvision camera to your home automation system. This can usually be done by connecting the camera to the system via an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection.
2. Once the camera is added to the system, you’ll need to create a rule that will trigger the recording function. This can be done by setting up a motion sensor in the area where you want the camera to start recording.
3. When the motion sensor is triggered, the recording function will be activated and the camera will start recording. You can then view the recorded footage from the comfort of your home automation system.
