CNET CIC-930W manual To Use Motion Detection Alerts

Motion Detection Alerts

The Motion Detection feature can generate an Alert when motion is detected.

The Network Camera will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the movement of large objects.

But the motion detector can also be triggered by:

•Sudden changes in the level of available light

•Movement of the camera itself.

Try to avoid these situations. The motion detection feature works best in locations where there is good steady illumination, and the camera is mounted securely. It cannot be used outdoors due to the sensitivity of the CMOS sensor.

To Use Motion Detection Alerts

Using the Web-based interface on the Network Camera, select the Motion Detection screen, then configure this screen as described below.
