Motion Detection Alerts
The
Motion Detection
feature can generate an Alert when motion is detected.
The Network 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.
Note:
The Motion Detection settings can only be configured while using IE browser.
To Use Motion Detection Alerts
Using the Web-based interface on the Network Camera, select the
Motion Detection
screen,
