Hello I got my new camera connected and working but I dont have the ability to scroll back through the day to see what has happened. All I can do is watch live video feed from adc-v723 camera and save 1 min clips. Is there a way for me to enable a feature with would allow me to scroll back and see what has happened? Also how does triggering work for the camera, how does the camera know when to save a video clip and when not to?

Happy to assist! You will need to create Recording Rules after setting up the camera in Alarm.com. To do so, follow the guide below:
Video recording rules determine when a camera records a clip. Most recording rules can only be created and edited using the Alarm.com Website. The only exception is Video Analytics rules which can be created and edited using either the Website or app.
Recording rules can be viewed, paused, and resumed using the Website or app.
Note : For users with a security panel, an Alarm recording rule is created for each camera by default to record during alarms.
You can also find more information on setting up Video Motion Detection rules for the Alarm.com 723 here
Video Motion Detection (VMD) is a method of identifying motion without the use of a motion detector. Cameras with VMD use software to determine if there is motion in the images they are capturing based on changes in the brightness and color of groups of pixels in the video.
When VMD is set up correctly, it can be an effective way to capture activity and generate notifications…
More information on clips storage through Alarm.com can be found here as well:
Alarm.com cameras can record video clips, which are then uploaded to the Cloud and accessible via the Alarm.com Website and app. Each video service package has two major components: monthly upload limit and storage limit. Each clip is treated the same regardless of its length, recording resolution, and quality.
