Settings
Description
Motion Pictures
Enables the capturing of multiple images. This
setting should always be set to on.
Number of Pics
Sets the number of images to capture per cap-
ture event. This should be set to the default of
3.
Quiet Period
Sets the minimum time to wait between capture
events. This should always be set to zero for no
delay. This should only be changed if there is
an excessive amount of empty frame images.
Sensitivity
Sets the event detection sensitivity. This should
be set to the default of Medium-Hi.
Schedule
Sets the times the camera will be active and
capturing. This setting should set the camera to
run 24/7 unless the use case calls for a specific
schedule.
To prevent false positive events, the
Total Event Time
should be 2 seconds or greater. This value is
calculated by the firmware of the camera which automatically updates the Motion Events settings
accordingly. However, if false positive events are being captured, this formula can be used to manually
calculate the
Total Event Time
:
Total Event Time
= 0.2 s ((
Number of Pics
- 1) * (
Time Between Pics
)) +
Quiet Period
EXAMPLE :
Number of Pics
= 3
Time Between Pics
= 0.8 seconds
Quiet Period
= 0
Total Event Time
= 0.2 s ((3 - 1) * 0.8 seconds) + 0 = 1.8 seconds
