SET MOTION DETECT –
This option allows you to configure the sensitivity of the Motion
Detection of the unit. On the screen you will see a white bar with a red line through it – this bar
shows you how much ‘energy’ is on the screen. MD Energy represents how much motion is
being seen on the screen. More energy means more motion occurring over a larger part of the
screen. As energy is seen, the white bar will fill up with black, to indicate how much motion the
camera sees. When the energy is higher than the threshold (The red bar) the camera will begin
recording. Using the - / + or up/down buttons, you can adjust the threshold so that the camera
requires more motion or less motion to trigger. If the Threshold is too low, the camera may
trigger based on extremely small changes and may trigger when motion is not seen. If the
Threshold is too high, the camera may not trigger even though motion is occurring in front of the
camera. 10% is the default Threshold.
Manual Record –
This option controls how the camera acts when it is manually told to record.
Video size can be set to either 640x480 or 320x240. Higher size improves quality, but
decreases your total recording time. Smaller size decreases quality, but allows you to record
longer amounts of time. Frame rate affects how many images are recorded every second –
larger frame rates are more smooth, more fluid, while smaller frame rates are more jerky and
have gaps in the motion. Larger frame rates will use up the camera’s memory much faster,
meaning less recording time. The minimum frame rate is 1 frame recorded every second. The
Maximum frame rate is 12 frames per second when set to 640x480, and 30 frames per second
when set to 320x240. Lastly, set the desired image quality. Once again, High quality uses up
the camera’s storage faster which means less time recorded. Lower quality provides longer
recording times by using less storage. Manual recording is always continuous and cannot detect
motion.
Schedule Record –
This option allows you to record using a daily schedule. The schedule can
be set to either record constantly (Continuous) or record when motion is seen (Motion
Detection). Each can be scheduled separately, but if they overlap then Motion Detection
recording settings (Quality, Resolution, Framerate) will take precedence over continuous
settings whenever the camera sees motion.
Schedule Record -> Motion Record –
The first option on this menu allows you to turn the
schedule on or off (Record : On/Off). Below that, you can enter the time to start recording, and
the time to end. If the time to start recording is after the time it ends, then it will record overnight.
The recording schedule is set using 24-hour time; 1:00pm corresponds to 13:00 and 10:00 PM
corresponds to 22:00. Below the scheduled time is the duration – once the camera sees motion
it will record for the entire duration specified. This can be set from 5 to 30 seconds (In
increments of 5 seconds). The unit will record the full duration, even if motion does not last the
entire time. Below the duration is the quality settings of the recording – these settings are
identical to the ones present in the ‘Manual Record’ section listed above.
