Motion Detection Alerts
The
Motion Detection
feature can generate an Alert when motion is detected.
The Internet Camera will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the
movement of large objects.
But the motion detector can also be triggered by:
•
Sudden changes in the level of available light
•
Movement of the camera itself.
Try to avoid these situations. The motion detection feature works best in locations where there
is good steady illumination, and the camera is mounted securely. It cannot be used outdoors
due to the sensitivity of the CMOS sensor.
To Use Motion Detection Alerts

Motion Detection
