The Camera Menu
Motion
You can configure the motion detection settings and sensivity level for each camera.
By default, the DVR has motion recording enabled on every channel, configured to
operate at an average level of sensitivity. We think that motion detection is the best
way to get your DVR to operate almost autonomously for long periods of time (typically
weeks to months) without you having to worry about losing old footage.
