Menu: Record Setup (continued) Motion Detection Sensitivity: Controls how sensitive each channel is to motion. The higher the sensitivity, the less motion will be required to trigger that channel. • The best way to set the detection sensitivity is to employ the aid of an able volunteer to play the part of intruder - have them move through the camera’s view, and experiment with different values until you find the right one for you.

Time slider 1 2 3 4 5 To Load a video from your ADW-340, remove the MicroSD card and fit it to an appropriate card reader then connect that to your PC/Laptop. Run the Sec24 software as shown earlier and then click Load (6) and navigate to the Remov- able Disk in the explorer window (the actual name may vary depending on your computer and its settings).
Mounting Guide Mounting the camera is quite straight forward. There are three screw holes in the flat plate on the base of the camera’s stand (shown above) that can be screwed onto any suitable vertical or horizontal mounting surface. • Use the included screws if attaching to a hardwood surface.
Q: How does the receiver “sense” movement? A: The ADW-340 doesn’t see the world like we do. The camera’s image is seen by the receiver as a large number of pixels. To detect motion, the receiver compares one picture from the camera to the next one it sends, and counts up how many pixels have changed their colour or tone, and by how much.
Check the integrity of the antenna(s) and tighten any loose connections. • Devices operating in the 2.4GHz range may interfere with the ADW-340 signal. Move cameras and the Receiver away from WIFI equipment, microwaves or any other wireless devices you have.
