Activate the camera's internal motion detection using this option. The camera does a real-time
frame-by-frame comparison of the image material and can trigger an alert if it detects motion. The
camera does not have an IR motion detection sensor. It relies on a frame-by-frame comparison, and,
therefore, the internal motion detection cannot be used at night when no light is present.
This activates a timer-based event. Values from 1 to 3600 seconds are valid. You can define the time
(international 24h time format) in which the camera's timer is active to trigger an output event.
Motion Detection Sensitivity:
This is to configure the level of motion detection sensitivity. The level is composed of five levels, from 0
to 4. Value 0 is the least sensitive setting. At this setting, the camera may "overlook" a lot of motion.
Value 4 is the most sensitive setting. At this setting, the camera will likely cause a lot of false alarms
because the tiniest movement – even the video compression – which can create compression artifacts,
can trigger an alert. Values 1 - 3 are more suited for real-life applications. Experiment with the different
settings to find the right level of sensitivity for your application.
Motion Detection Area:
This is to configure the motion detection area in the images. If you select "Motion Detection Area"
type in the combo box and click "Display motion area," then you can see your setting of "Motion
Detection Area" graphically as shown in the figures below.

CAUTION: It is not recommended that the motion detection function be used for security purposes. To
perform security surveillance for the protection of high-value goods, it is suggested that infrared
sensors or other insurance-approved sensors be used (and connected to the camera to make use of
the event output options). It should also be mentioned that the motion detection delivers better results
at lower image resolutions.
Image Capture Option
This is to configure image capture options when an event is triggered. When an event occurs, you can
get the pre-event and post-event images by setting "Before event" and "After event."
