Exploring IMOU’s All-day Saving Recording Mode (AOR)

In today’s fast-evolving tech landscape, the demand for reliable security monitoring has become increasingly vital, especially for households, small offices, and retail spaces. However, a common challenge faced by many security camera users is limited storage capacity, making continuous all-day recording a daunting task. To tackle this issue, IMOU has introduced the All-day Saving Recording Mode (AOR), a smart solution that optimizes storage space while ensuring comprehensive security coverage. Join me in this blog as we dive into the standout features of this innovative mode!

What is AOR Mode?

IMOU’s AOR is an advanced recording method designed to strike a perfect balance between data storage and continuous monitoring. Unlike traditional continuous recording—which captures every moment in high resolution—AOR operates more intelligently:

When There’s No Activity: The camera records at just 1 frame per second (1 FPS), significantly reducing storage usage while still providing a general overview.
When Suspicious Activity is Detected: It automatically switches to full-frame, high-quality recording, ensuring no critical details are missed.

Thanks to this mechanism, AOR not only meets the need for 24/7 surveillance but also saves storage space remarkably.

Key Benefits of AOR

Up to 85% Storage Savings
Compared to standard continuous recording, AOR can cut storage needs by up to 85% (based on tests with a dual-lens 10-megapixel camera without event-triggered recording). This means you can use smaller memory cards while retaining more days of footage.
Extended Storage Duration
With a 512GB memory card and 2K image quality, IMOU claims AOR can store data for up to 97 days (based on lab test results). Real-world performance may vary depending on clarity and event frequency, but it’s still an impressive leap over traditional methods.
Comprehensive Monitoring Without Missing Key Moments
Despite its storage-saving approach, AOR ensures all critical events are captured in full detail by seamlessly switching between low-frame and high-quality modes. This is invaluable for reviewing footage to spot unusual activity.
User-Friendly Experience
AOR is seamlessly integrated into the IMOU Life app, allowing you to enable, disable, or customize it effortlessly without complex setup.

Who is AOR Perfect For?

AOR is especially ideal for:

Families: Those who want round-the-clock home monitoring without investing in large storage solutions.
Small Businesses: Shops or cafes needing long-term data retention on a budget.
Individual Users: Anyone seeking peace of mind without the hassle of frequently swapping memory cards.

How to Activate AOR Mode

Getting started with AOR is simple:

Ensure your IMOU camera supports this feature (most newer models do).
Download and open the IMOU Life app on your phone.
Go to the camera settings, select recording mode, and enable All-day Saving Recording Mode.
Insert a compatible memory card (32GB or higher is recommended for the best experience).

Conclusion

IMOU’s All-day Saving Recording Mode (AOR) represents a significant advancement in security camera technology, offering a perfect blend of efficiency and savings. With its ability to optimize storage, extend recording duration, and provide uninterrupted surveillance, AOR is a must-have feature for anyone seeking a smart security solution.
