Applications > Motion detection
This section explains how to configure the camera to enable motion detection. A total of five motion
detection windows can be configured.
To enable motion detection, follow these steps:
Step 1
Click
New
to add a new motion detection window.
Step 2
In the Window Name text box, enter a name for the motion detection window.
Use 4 mouse clicks to designate a detection window. You can change the window shape by dragging the
corner marks to a preferred location.
Drag the item size tab to change the minimum size of item to trigger an alarm. An item size box will
appear in the center of screen for your reference (in semi-transparent red). An intruding object must be
larger than the Item size to trigger an alarm. Change the item size according to the live view.
To delete a window, click the X mark on the right of the window name.
Step 3
Define the sensitivity to moving objects by moving the Sensitivity slide bar.
A high sensitivity is prone to produce false alarms such as the fast changes of light (such as day/night
mode switch, turning lights on/off). A movement must persist longer than 0.3 second for the motion to
be detected.
Step 4
Click Save to enable the settings.
Step 5
Select
Enable motion detection
to enable this function.

motions are detected by the camera and are considered to exceed the preset threshold, the red bar rises.
Meanwhile, the motion detection window will be outlined in red.
Photos or videos can be captured instantly and configured to be sent to a remote server (via an Email or
FTP server). For more information on how to configure an event setting, see the
A green bar indicates that even though motions have been detected, the event has not been triggered
because the image variations still fall under the preset threshold
If you want to configure other motion detection settings for day/night/schedule mode (for example, for
a different lighting condition), click
Profile
to open the Motion Detection Profile Settings page. Another
three motion detection windows can be configured on this page.
To set up a profile, follow these steps:
