8.4.14. Alarm Settings (Motion Detection)
The ALARM SETTINGS page is where you can configure motion detection and
the alarms or actions to be taken when motion is detected. The camera can send
email alerts or upload images to a server when it detects movement.
When motion is detected, the green icons in the Camera Monitoring screen will
turn red and you will hear an alert sound.
When you select the checkbox for Motion Detect Armed or Alarm Input Armed,
further options will appear, many of which are common to both choices. All the
options are described below.
Motion Detect Armed
: Check this box to turn on Motion Detection.
Motion Detect Sensitivity
: Sets the sensitivity at which the camera will react to
motion and begin recording images or send an email alert. The range is 1 to 10
with 10 being the most sensitive. Choose a higher value if you want to make sure
you don’t miss even the slightest movement, or set a lower value if you are getting
many false alarms. A midrange value of 5 is acceptable in most environments.
The recorded footage is saved to c:\users\public\public documents (under
Windows 7). This path can be changed to anything you’d like in the
Advanced
Settings > Other Settings
menu by choosing the
Record Path
.
