10.4.3 Configuring Video Motion Detection

Video motion detection looks for changes in video images (frames) to detect motion. Vid-
eo motion detection allows for motion detection beyond the range of the PIR sensors.
The drawback to video motion detection is that it can sometimes be falsely triggered by
changes in lighting conditions or trees moving in the wind. You can disable video motion
detection or configure the sensitivity using the menus. We recommend that you enable
video motion detection and set a lower sensitivity if you are experiencing false triggers.
For a description of the two motion detection technologies used by the system, see 10.4
Motion Recording, page 25.
To configure video motion detection:
1. Press , then select Detect. Push the joystick to confirm.
2. Move the joystick up / down to select the camera you would like to configure video mo-
tion detection for and push the joystick to confirm.
3. Select Off to disable video motion detection, or select Low, Medium, or High
sensitivity.
4. Push the joystick to save your changes.
5. Press until all menus are closed.
