You can enable motion detection and alarm control from the Main Menu. You can also connect
additional motion sensor devices to the system (i.e. motion sensors, door/window sensors). Use

is installed on Alarm Block port #4. When this sensor activates, the camera on CH4 will also
become active (if enabled in the Alarm menu on the system).
