What this tab is for
Motion Detection detects moving objects in the configured surveillance area. A series of
actions can be taken when an alarm is triggered. On the Motion Detection tab, you can turn
on Motion Detection and configure the settings of this function.
Modes

configuration modes are available for different motion detection environments:
● Normal configuration
