alarm occurs during a manual recording, the alarm recording has priority over the manual
recording. If a scheduled recording is already in progress when a manual recording is started, it
continues to record as scheduled.
You can check to see if a camera is recording manually by looking at the button on the live view
toolbar. The button is red when manually recording. Default is off.
