What settings to use with external motion sensor

With the external motion sensor what setting should I use on the wyze camera to record events only when motion is detected by the external motion sensor? I don’t want the camera to detect motion but I do want it to record an event. I know it sounds stupid but I’m not getting recordings sometimes and only notifications. Should I turn on setting for cam to record motion when motion is detected ? Again I don’t want the motion sensor on the camera to be used as the trigger . Thank you very much Peter

Go into the motion sensor settings, tap Sensor Videos, and select the camera you want to record when motion is detected.

Also, go into the settings for the camera you just selected, Tap “Event Recording” and deselect “Detects motion” and “Detects sound”, if they are not already deselected. (Mine deselected when I connected the motion sensor to the camera). This will disable the camera motion detection and rely just on the motion sensor.

“I don’t want the camera to detect motion but I do want it to record an event.”

Not sure what you’re trying to say here. Something needs to detect motion to record an event… either the camera or the sensor…
