Pause Or Resume A Video Recording Rule

Recording rules can be paused to stop recording clips, and resumed to begin recording clips again following the rule. You can pause and resume recording rules using the Alarm.com website or app.

Important: For rules that were paused due to the account reaching its clip upload limit, they cannot be re-enabled until the end of the current month.
