  2. Define autostart time period for every day of the week.
  3. Save time period configuration.
  4. You can enable autostart on network device presence. This will allow motion service to start when there is none of the configured device(s) connected to the local network (when nobody is at home). Motion service will stop if at least one of the configured device(s) is connected to the local network (when someone is at home).
  5. If you choose to enable autostart on network device presence, you have to specify yout device IPv4 address. You may configure static IP adress on your device(s) to be sure they never change, use you local home router to define static DHCP lease for each of your devices.
