Video Masking; Disconnection; Ip Conflict; Record - Q-See QC-SERIES User Manual

Anti-Dither - is the amount of time that the camera will delay before beginning the alarm
response. If the motion isn't detected again during the delay period, the camera will not treat
it as an event.
Sensitivity - You can adjust the camera's sensitivity to motion to minimize false alarms caused
by environmental factors such as insects.
Record Delay - This is the amount of time beyond the event that the camera will continue to

record.

In addition to triggering recording, you can also have the camera take a snapshot and send
an alert e-mail.
Click on the Setup button next to Area to
turn off motion detection in certain areas,
such as roads, a flag or trees that move in
the wind to avoid false alarms. Clicking on a
square in the grid, or clicking and dragging
across multiple areas will remove the blue
mask and deactivate motion detection in that
area.

VIDEO MASKING

If the camera detects that it is being blocked or covered, it can be configured to record, send
an e-mail and/or take a snapshot of what it sees. You can also set up a schedule so that it
will not be active during a regularly scheduled period when it might be blocked by a door, for
example.

DISCONNECTION

If the IP Camera detects that it no longer has a network connection, and if it has an SD flash
memory chip installed, it can record video to the chip for later recovery through the PSS
software.

IP CONFLICT

Whether in DHCP or UPnP, the router will automatically assign IP addresses to devices on its
network. If someone on the network manually changes the IP address of a connected device
to an address identical to that of the IP camera, this can cause difficulty in accessing the
camera remotely. You can enable the camera to begin recording if this occurs.

3.5 RECORD
If you have enabled the record function for this camera elsewhere in the Web Service
program, you will need to set when those recordings will occur using the Record Schedule
tab. In addition, you will need to configure the destination for those files along with the
duration and quality of the recorded files.
Videos will be recorded in the .dav format and will require the use of the included video player
software to review and convert to a different format.

RECORD SHEDULE

The camera is configured to allow event recording all day and every day. To change these
settings, click on the Setup button to the right of the date you wish to schedule.
