your system to begin recording when a pixel change is detected by your unit.
With the incorporation of infrared sensors, now your system must detect both a
pixel change and a change in heat in order for your system to record when set to
motion. Night Owl utilizes high tech UTC cabling which sends a signal from the
camera to the DVR. If configured, the DVR will then send a push notification out
to your Smart Device which will contain an embedded video clip of the object
triggering the motion and infrared sensors.
In order to set the PIR Detection Area for your PIR camera, first login to your
DVR’s Main Menu then navigate to
General > Alarm. Choose the channel you
want to configure from the drop down menu labeled
Channel and then click the
Setup button. You will then be directed to the detection area screen.
By default, all squares should be red, indicating the entire field of view is set to
detect heat change.
If there is an area within the camera’s field of view that you do not want detection
to be active, follow the steps below:
1. Click on a square in one corner of the area you don’t want to be detected.
2. Drag the mouse over the area you want to block.
3. Release the mouse and verify you have selected your desired area.
4. Right click the mouse and select Save.
