Notes About Motion Detection
•
Motion detection may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of subject movement and
camera shake in some situations.
•
Motion detection may not function if the subject exhibits significant movement or is too dark.
•
The images captured using motion detection may be somewhat “grainy” in appearance.
