The Motion Detection Menu
The MOTION DETECTION menu.
Here, you'll be able to choose
which channel(s) you want to be
sensitive to motion. Additionally,
you'll be able to choose how
sensitive each channel is.
The SETUP button will take you
to the MOTION DETECTION
CONFIGURATION screen.
How it Works: Once motion detection has been enabled for a channel, it will
register to the DVR as an ALARM EVENT. Thus, you can use the ALARM RECORDING
mode in the schedule to trigger the DVR to record when motion detection triggers
the alarm signal. Using the ALARM menu, you can also set up the DVR to send an
automatic email alert or simply beep when it detects motion.
STATUS: Whether or not motion detection is enabled on a specific channel. Each
channel can be configured independently of one another.
SENSITIVITY: There are four levels of motion detection sensitivity, 1 being the least
sensitive and 4 being the most sensitive. To find the right value for you, we suggest
setting it and then testing the chosen setting by getting an able volunteer to move
through the camera's view and testing whether or not the motion detection is
triggered.
MD AREA: Click the applicable SETUP button to setup the motion detection area for
that channel. See pages 38 & 39 for details on how to do this, and what it means.
•
Analog wireless cameras are not recommended for use with the motion
detection functions of the DVR.
•
Motion detection is not recommended for use with PTZ systems. Avoid
enabling motion detection on a channel which has a PTZ system attached to
it - especially when the PTZ system is set to Cruise Mode.
•
Setting the motion detection at high sensitivity levels (3 - 4) can increase the
frequency of false alarms. On the other hand, low sensitivity levels (1 - 2) could
increase the risk that a significant motion event (such as an intruder) will not
trigger the motion detection to record.
Remember: After making changes to the settings press/click the APPLY button.
