Activity detection may be enabled on each camera. Select the required camera using the

RIGHT
key to enter the activity screen for that camera.
When the top row of text is highlighted, the sensitivity is set using the
NUMERIC
keys
1,2,3,4,5

When the top row text is highlighted, the number of active pixels required for detection is set using
NUMERIC
keys
6,7,8,9,0
