Motion Detection - Swann HD Pro-Series Instruction Manual

Motion Detection

Motion detection is an essential part of your security system. It's the
main method that detects when someone is in your home when they
shouldn't be. When motion has been detected by one or more cameras,
a signal is sent to your DVR, alerting you to a potential threat in your
home. It does this in several ways such as activating an audio warning
using its internal buzzer, sending an email and sending an alert to your
smartphone or tablet. You can also configure your DVR so it triggers the
other cameras to start recording.
Motion detection is the default recording mode for the DVR. The entire
view of the camera is enabled to detect motion however you can select
certain areas if you wish. In the above example, a motion detection zone
has been setup for the windows and dining room entrance. Movement
outside of these zones will not be detected.
Using the "Sensitivity" function, you can
change the motion sensitivity level for each
time period available. The level is controlled
by a slider, allowing you to set a value be-
tween 0 and 50. The lower the number, the
more sensitive the motion detection will be.
