Page 112 VIVOTEK ■ Maximum duration Specify the maximum recording duration in seconds. Up to 20 seconds can be set. For example, if pre-event recording is set to 5 seconds and the maximum duration is set to 10 seconds, the Network Camera continues to record for another 4 seconds after a trigger is activated.

Page 116: Applications > Motion Detection
VIVOTEK Applications > Motion detection This section explains how to configure the Network Camera to enable motion detection. A total of three motion detection windows can be configured. Motion Detection Setting 1: For normal situations Motion Detection Setting 2: Follow the steps below to enable motion detection:...
Page 117 VIVOTEK A green bar indicates that even though motions have been detected, the event has not been triggered because the image variations still fall under the defined threshold. Percentage = 30% If you want to configure other motion detection settings for day/night/schedule mode, please click Profile to open the Motion Detection Profile Settings page as shown below.
Page 118 VIVOTEK NOTE: ► How does motion detection work? There are two motion detection parameters: Sensitivity and Percentage. In the illustration above, frame A and frame B are two sequential images. Pixel differences between the two frames are detected and highlighted in gray (frame C) and will be compared with the sensitivity setting. Sensitivity is a value that expresses the sensitivity to moving objects.
Page 119: Applications > Di And Do
VIVOTEK Applications > DI and DO Digital input: Select High or Low to define normal status for the digital input. Connect a digital input from a sensor device to the camera, the Network Camera will report the current signal status. You may then configure the Normal status (non-trigger status) as High or Low.
Page 120: Applications > Audio Detection
VIVOTEK Applications > Audio detection Audio detection, along with video motion detection, is applicable in the following scenarios: 1. Detection of activities not covered by camera view, e.g., a loud input by gun shots or breaking a door/ window. 2. A usually noisy environment, such as a factory, suddenly becomes quiet due to a breakdown of machines.
Page 121 VIVOTEK You can use the Profile window to configure a different Audio detection setting. For example, a place can be noisy in the day time and become very quiet in the night. 1. Click on the Enable this profile checkbox. Once the Audio detection window is opened, the current sound input will be interactively indicated by a fluctuating yellow wave diagram.
