It is recommended to have a quick test with the editing, just simply click the
Set
, and draw a box in the
window area. Click an area holding the left mouse button, and dragging the box that it makes. If you
right click and draw this is a short way to the cut and area of the mask, without selecting the
Cut
Icon.
You will note that only one camera can be shown in the Motion Detection configuration. To change
camera you can select the camera using the bottom screen Icons. C1-C16 or whatever they may be
named too, as the Caption if you recall will be displayed rather than the default C1-C16 names.
Also it’s now worth pointing out that in the configuration, you are able to select back to
And back to
without the system loosing the information between each section. This in
effect allows you to modify parameters for a camera, and not commit unless you are happy with the
selection. This does mean you can select a different camera and modify all parameters without the need
to keep saving every camera setting, until you are satisfied with the settings.
