B) Setting Detection Area - Night Owl C80XFR Series User Manual

7.2.1 (b) Setting Detection Area

Night Owl's Smart Detection Security System uses both motion sensors and infrared sensors to ensure the
number of false alerts produced are minimal. Current motion detection technology allows your system to
begin recording when a pixel change is detected by your unit. With the incorporation of infrared sensors,
now your system must detect both a pixel change and a change in heat in order for your system to record
when set to motion. Night Owl utilizes high tech UTC cabling which sends a signal from the camera to the
DVR. If configured, the DVR will then send a push notification out to your Smart Device which will contain
an embedded video clip of the object triggering the motion and infrared sensors.
In order to set the PIR Detection Area for your PIR camera, first log in to your DVR's Main Menu then select
Cameras > Motion. Choose the channel you want to configure from the drop down menu labeled Channel and
then click the Area > Set button. You will be directed to the detection area screen. By default, all squares
should be red, indicating the entire field of view is set to detect heat change.
If there is an area within the camera's field of view that you do not want detection to be active, follow the steps below:
Click on a square in one corner of the area you don't want to be detected.
1
Click and drag the mouse over the area you want to block.
2
