Motion Detection & Recording Setup
4. Motion Detection & Recording Setup
This section will cover how to set up your NVR‟s scheduled recordings for both regular and
motion detection recordings. It will also cover how to set up email alerts with snapshots.
Note: The NVR can only be set up to save regular and motion detection recordings if a
hard drive has already been installed. However, email alerts with snapshots can still work
without a hard drive installed.
A hard drive is not included with this system. Once purchased separately, for hard drive
installation instructions, please refer to part 3 of this guide: Hardware Setup > Hard drive
installation.
The following setup processes will be shown using the NVR console‟s built-in interface. However,
these same steps can also be done through the web interface on a computer. Despite the
difference in appearance, the settings pages have the exact same organizational structure.
When motion detection has been set up correctly on this system, you will see the following icon
appear on your cameras‟ live view windows when motion detection has been triggered:
