initial configuration.
Most of the procedures for setting up an IP Camera are identical to those for an analog camera. See
Camera Setup , for instructions on adjusting all settings in the HDVR software with the exception of
Motion Mask, Motion Window, and Crop Window.
Some models of cameras allow you to create Motion Windows instead of Motion Masks. A Motion
Mask is an area of a video window where motion is ignored, whereas a Motion Window is an area
of a video window where motion is monitored.
IMPORTANT NOTE
This section discusses how to create a Motion Mask. However, a Motion Window can be created using
the same process.
To add a new Motion Mask or edit an existing mask, click the Edit button.
The Add and Remove buttons, as well as the Motion Mask tabs will now be enabled.
A separate tab will be created for each mask setting. To add a new mask, click the Add button.
Move your cursor to the video display panel at the top left corner of the IP Camera Setup screen.
Determine where you want to set your rectangular mask to appear, click in the upper-left corner and
drag it to the lower right corner. A blue rectangle will mark the location of the mask.
