For example, if the anti-dither time is set to 10 seconds, each alarm may last 10 seconds if the local
alarm is activated. During the process, if the system detects another local alarm signal at the fifth
second, the buzzer, tour, snapshot, record channel functions will begin another 10 seconds while the
screen prompt, alarm upload, email will not be activated again.
After 10 seconds, if system detects another alarm signal, it can generate a new alarm since the anti-
dither time has expired.

When the setup button is clicked, a live stream of the video is shown. The user can then set
up to 4 regions, each with their own region name, sensitivity (1-100), and threshold (1-100). Each
region has a specific color, and the region selector tool is displayed when the mouse is moved to
the top of the screen.
Sensitivity is the amount of change required to increase the motion detected by a percentage. The
lower the sensitivity, the more movement is required to trigger an alarm.
Threshold is the level that the motion detection needs to reach to trigger an alarm. The lower the
threshold, the more likely that motion will trigger an alarm.
To designate a zone, click and drag the mouse over the area desired. When a colored box is displayed
over the live feed, that area is now enabled for motion detection.
After the motion detection zone is set, click the enter button to exit the motion detection screen.
Remember to click the save button on the motion detection settings screen, otherwise the motion
detection zones will not go into effect. Clicking the cancel button to leave the motion detection zone
and will not save the zone setup.
