, on page 19 for instructions.

Record on I/O alarms and motion detection
.
3. Click on the

- Left-click
and drag to add new areas.
- Right-click
and drag to delete areas.
The grid may be shown in different colors, but this is simply to increase
visibility. Click
OK
when done.
5. Different motion detection settings can be used for when it is bright (
day
) and
dark (
night
). To change the default “
night
” settings, wait until it is dark where
the camera is located and select the
Night
option. Move the
Night threshold
slider so that it is slightly to the left of the
Darkness level
.
When the AXIS Camera Station does the motion detection rather than the
cameras the performance of the server may be affected by the extra
processing load. There is also some network traffic between the cameras and
the server when this option is used for motion detection.
