The Motion tab also contains settings that control the triggering of alarms
based on motion events. You can configure a zone of camera inputs to begin
recording when motion occurs on specific cameras (see “Adding and Configur-
ing Zones” in this chapter for more information). The settings that control
when this recording occurs are found in the Alarm Settings area of the Motion
tab. This section contains the following settings:
•
Consecutive Motion Frames to Trigger Alarm—
the number of
consecutive motion images that must occur on the selected camera
input to activate recording on all cameras in the zone.
•
Consecutive Non-Motion Frames for Reset—
the number of con-
secutive non-motion images that must occur to end alarm recording
(or to begin post-motion recording, if configured).
You can also configure pre- and post-motion recording on the Motion tab. The
Pre-Motion Recording and Post-Motion Recording sections of the Motion tab
contain the following settings:
•
Consecutive Motion Frames to Trigger Pre-Motion Recording—
the minimum number of consecutive motion images that must occur
on the selected camera input for the pre-motion video to be appended
to the recorded motion event.
•
Pre-Recording Seconds—
the amount of video appended to the
beginning of the recorded motion event when the minimum number of
consecutive motion images occur. The images included in the pre-
motion segment is determined by counting backward from the final
consecutive motion image. The maximum possible Pre-Recording
Seconds value is equal to the Maximum Video Buffer setting on the
General tab.
•
Consecutive Non-Motion Frames to Start Post Motion Record-
ing—
the minimum number of consecutive non-motion images that
will end the motion event and start a post-motion recording period.
The first image included in the post-motion recording period is the
first image after the final consecutive non-motion image.
•
Post-Recording Seconds—
the amount of video recorded in the post-
motion recording period. This video is appended to the end of the
recorded motion event. If the minimum number of consecutive motion
images reoccurs during the post-recording period, the post-recording
period restarts beginning with the image following the final consecu-
tive motion image.
