To set up motion detection
To record video based on motion detection, you must first set up timer recording. The DX4000 will use motion detection to record video during the scheduled recording start and stop times that you select for each affected camera.
1. From the remote agent application main screen, click the Setup button | if the Settings screen is not open. The Settings screen |
appears and the Remote Agent tab is displayed. |
|
2.Open the DVR System tab, and then click the Record tab. (See Figure 67 on page 52.)
3.Turn on timer recording for each camera for which you will set up motion detection. The Motion Detection settings are enabled for each camera as you set up timer recording for them.
4.Under the Motion Detection settings, configure the following settings.
•Motion: Turn it on or off.
•Sensitivity: Select a sensitivity level between 1 and 10 where 10 is the most sensitive.
•Region: Select “Partial” or “Entire”. When motion detection is turned on, the DX4000 detects motion on the entire screen by default. If you select “partial,” the Motion Area Setup screen appears (Figure 69).
5.For partial regions, set up motion detection as follows:
a.On the Motion Area Setup screen, press and hold the mouse button while you highlight a region. The DX4000 will detect motion in any areas of the screen that are yellow.
b.A shortcut menu appears when you release the mouse button.
c.Choose an option that applies to the selected region: “Select” includes the region in your motion detection areas, “Deselect” removes the region from your motion detection areas, and “Cancel” exits the shortcut menu and returns you to the Motion Area Setup screen without altering the settings for the region.
d.After you are satisfied with the motion settings for a camera, click the OK button to return to the Record tab.
