Linked monitors question...

I've got two cameras looking at my driveway from different angles. What I'd like is to record from both cameras any time there is an alarm from one of them.

I thought the solution to this was to link the monitors for the different angles. So LeftGarage would link to RightGarage, and vice versa.

It seems like this is configured correctly -- an event was triggered from RightGarage, and when I look at the events, I can see a "linked" event for the LeftGarage, however, when I attempt to view the LeftGarage event, nothing appears, and I see these errors in the log:

Code: Select all

I'm guessing a recording wasn't actually done?

Nevermind, I was doing what the FAQ mentioned I shouldn't -- looped the monitors.

So, just to be clear, if I link Monitor1 to Monitor2, but not Monitor2 to Monitor1, the linking is really bidirectional anyway, correct? If Monitor2 triggers, it will record on Monitor1 too?

Can anyone answer the linked monitor question? Is it bidirectional?
