Motion Options

You can set the motion detection features of the DVR for each channel. By default,
the DVR has motion recording enabled on every channel, configured to operate at
an average level of sensitivity. We think that motion detection is the best way to get
your DVR to operate almost autonomously for long periods of time (typically weeks
to months) without you having to worry about losing old footage.
Option
Channel Select the channel you want to configure.
Enable Enable motion detection feature on the selected channel. All
channels has motion detection enabled by default. Each channel
can be configured independently of one another.
Motion Lets you set up the motion detection area and adjust motion
sensitivity levels for the selected channel. See "How to set up the
Detection
motion detection area?" on page 22 for details on how to do
this, and what it means.
Schedule Lets you define a schedule of when the camera will be sensitive
to motion. By default, all cameras are scheduled to look out
for motion the entire time throughout the week. Adjusting the
schedule here can affect the way the recording schedule works,
particularly if you've set it to Motion Recording mode (see
"Schedule Options" on page 10.) While a camera is not senstive
to motion, the DVR won't record anything even if something is
moving in the picture.
Action Lets you define what happens when the selected camera detects
motion. For more information about the types of action available,
see "How to set the DVR's response to a motion event?" on page
23.
