Motion Detection

Explanation

• Enable: This checkbox enables detection zone settings for the camera.

• Detection Area: Clicking this button opens a pop up screen that can be used to set detection areas.

Live stream of the video is shown in the detection area. The user can then set up to 4 regions. The sensitivity level range from 1 to 10, and threshold level from 1 to 100.

• Sensitivity is the amount of change required to increase the motion detected by a percentage. The lower the sensitivity, the more movement is required to trigger an alarm.

• Threshold is the level that the motion detection needs to reach in order to trigger an alarm. The lower the threshold, the more likely that motion will trigger an alarm.

To designate a zone, click and drag the mouse over the area desired. The area is enabled for motion detection when a colored box is displayed over the live feed.

After the motion detection zone is set, click the enter button to exit the motion detection screen. Remember to click the save button on the motion detection settings screen, otherwise the motion detection zones will not go into effect. Clicking the cancel button to leave the motion detection zone and will not save the zone setup.
