1. Full screen : Select the whole screen to be sensitive to motion detection.
2. Clear All : Clear all motion detection areas on-screen.
3. Sensitivity : Set the motion sensitivity level. There are five sensitivity levels: 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest). If level 1 is
selected, the unit will not respond to any motion detection.
4. Target size : Set the minimum number of zones in a camera image that must be activated simultaneously before it is
considered to be valid motion. The value can be between 0 and 396 squares.
5. Exit : Return to the Advanced Camera Settings screen.
For analog cameras you can set up both the schedule and areas sensitive to motion
detection for each camera individually or easily copy the settings of one camera to
other cameras.
For IP cameras you can configure from the DVR the schedule when the camera can
be triggered by motion. However, you need to configure the area of the video display
sensitive to motion from the camera itself.
Note: For motion detection to work best the light in a camera area should be
constant, and the background of the camera image should preferably be high-
contrast.
To set up motion detection:
1. Enter the Camera Management screen by selecting Camera in the main menu.
The Camera Management screen appears.
2. Select a camera for which you want to configure motion detection, and then click
Setup to display the Camera Settings screen.
3. Click the Advanced tab to display the Advanced Camera Settings screen.
