Certain R-series cameras have Built-in Deterrent Functions. This is great for if you want an Event-based Strobe or Flood Light action to trigger.

In this guide, we are referencing the Web Interface to the ATSMST-NC.

Please Note

In order for the deterrent functionality to be available, the camera must be in Day/Night Mode in its Image Settings.
