Advanced Motion Detection Settings
Say you’re monitoring your yard, and right next to the gate you want to watch
there’s a tree blowing in the wind, which constantly triggers the motion detection.
Perhaps your watching a hallway, and your pet cat continually sets off the motion
detection, and you only want to record humans. What can you do?
You can fi ne tune your ADVANCED MOTION DETECTION SETTINGS to only trigger
the RedAlert to record when it should! There are several settings you can confi gure,
and we’ll go through them one at a time…

and press OK.
Choose the size of the area that you would like to detect motion by using the
3.
LEFT/RIGHT buttons. When you’re satisfi ed, press OK.
Now, you can place the motion detection area in whichever part of the image

Viewing Live Images
By default, the
RedAlert
will boot up straight into LIVE VIEWING MODE. The DISP
button will cycle between displaying a WIRED and a WIRELESS camera connected
to the
RedAlert
.
The
RedAlert
is capable of displaying images from two cameras at a time. To
achieve this, one of the cameras must be wired, the other wireless. As the picture
from one camera is displayed in miniature within the other camera’s picture, this is
referred to as Picture In Picture mode (PIP MODE) .
Press DISP once to switch between the WIRED and WIRELESS camera.
1.
Press DISP again to activate PIP MODE.
2.
Press DISP a third time if you wish to swap the positions of the main and
3.
miniature images.
Note that whilst the
4.
RedAlert
can display two images at once,
it can only
record one at a time
.
Motion Detection
If the
RedAlert
recorded everything it saw all the time, you’d wind up with hundreds
of images (or hours of video) where nothing is happening! That’s not very useful
for anyone, as it would fi ll up the SD card too fast, and leave you searching through
hundreds (or more) fi les to try and fi nd the incident you are after!
Thus, to save storage space – not to mention your time and sanity – the
RedAlert
is designed to record short videos (10 seconds in length) or take a series of still
images whenever something happens in view of the camera. We call this MOTION
DETECTION.
To turn MOTION DETECTION ON or OFF:
Press MENU.
1.
Use LEFT and RIGHT to navigate to the
2.
MOTION DETECTION icon.
Press OK to toggle MOTION DETECTION
3.
to ON or OFF, depending on your
preference.
The MOTION DETECTION icon will be
4.
displayed in the top left of the screen
whilst enabled.
