Motion Detection; Setting The Time And Date - Swann RedAlert2 Operating Instructions Manual

Motion Detection

If the RedAlert2 recorded everything it saw all the time, you'd wind up with
hundreds of images (or hours of video) where nothing is happening! That's not very
useful for anyone, as it would fill up the SD card too fast, and leave you searching
through hundreds (or more) files to try and find the incident you are after!
Thus, to save storage space – not to mention your time and sanity – the RedAlert2
is designed to record short videos (10 seconds in length) or take a series of still
images whenever something happens in view of the camera. We call this MOTION
DETECTION.
To turn MOTION DETECTION ON or OFF:
1. Press to enter the menu.
2. Use LEFT and RIGHT to navigate to
the MOTION DETECTION submenu.
3. Press to
DETECTION to ON or OFF, depending
on your preference.
4. The MOTION DETECTION
icon will be displayed in the
top left of the screen whilst
enabled.
5. We'll cover
settings later.

Setting the Time and Date

To ensure that you are able to quickly and accurately sort through your recordings,
it's important to accurately set the time and date. To do so:
1. Press to access the main menu. Then, press
LEFT or RIGHT repeatedly until you access the Set
Time/Date screen.
2. Use UP and DOWN to select Set Time/Date. You'll
be taken to the Time/Date setting interface (as
shown left).
3. Use LEFT/RIGHT to select a field to edit, and UP/
DOWN to change the value.
4. When you've set the time and date, press
confirm.
