10 Motion buffers the last few seconds of video and includes it with the
11 recording when it detects motion, the number of seconds is configurable.

13 There are also many options to tweak for the detection, such as only
14 looking at specific portions of the image. Some false alarms are
15 inevitable but you would spend less time looking through those than
16 watching a live stream.

18 Only you can decide what works best for you, but check the options
19 thoroughly before you dismiss motion detection.
