Below is an explanation of the fields on the Motion Detect tab:
•
Enable
: This checkbox enables motion detection for the camera.
•
Working Period
: Clicking this button opens a weekly schedule that can be used to set times.
o
Click and drag to set motion detection for certain days of the week. Also, periods of motion detection
can be set for each day and enabled using the period settings on the bottom half of the screen. There
are a total of 6 periods that can be set.
•
Anti-Dither
: This field allows the user to set the anti-dither time. The values in this field can range from 5 to
600 seconds. This time value controls how long the alarm signal lasts. Based on motion detection, a buzzer can
go off, a tour can begin, PTZ can be activated, a snapshot can be taken, or the camera can begin recording.
o
For example, if the anti-dither time is set to 10 seconds, each alarm may last 10 seconds if the local
alarm is activated. During the process, if the system detects another local alarm signal at the fifth
second, the buzzer, tour, PTZ activation, snapshot, record channel functions will begin another 10
seconds while the screen prompt, alarm upload, email will not be activated again. After 10 seconds, if
system detects another alarm signal, it can generate a new alarm since the anti-dither time has
expired.
•
Detection Area
: Clicking this button opens a pop up screen that can be used to set detection areas.
o
When the setup button is clicked, a live stream of the video is shown. The user can then set up to 4
regions, each with their own region name, sensitivity (1-100), and threshold (1-100). Each region has
a specific color, and the region selector tool is displayed when the mouse is moved to the top of the
screen.
▪
Sensitivity is the amount of change required to increase the motion detected by a percentage. The
lower the sensitivity, the more movement is required to trigger an alarm.
