MOTION
Motion Tab
As with the Alarm function above, it incorporates hold time and can trigger procedures.
Select which cameras you wish to start recording on motion detection. Set the holding time which determines the length of time the cameras continue recording after motion stops.
In the Trigger setting, you can set multiple channels to record when motion is detected by a camera that has been set to activate upon motion detection.
For example: If Camera 1 detects motion, |
|
you can have it trigger Cameras 2 and 3 to |
|
begin recording as well. | PICTURE |
|
In addition, the user can set the sensitivity of certain areas within the field of view by clicking on the Select button selecting the Area field for the respective camera.
Test your settings by moving something |
| |
or someone through the grid area in the |
| |
camera’s view. Motion should not be detected |
| |
outside of this area but you should see a |
| |
yellow humanoid figure appear in the screen |
| |
once the DVR detects movement within the |
| |
grid. Removing the grid where there is a flag | Sensitivity: 6 | |
or trees that frequently move in the wind will | ||
prevent false alerts. Click on the Disk button | PICTURE | |
to save your settings before exiting the setup | ||
| ||
process by clicking on the X button. |

Schedule Tab
This is also set to be on all the time by default and it can be adjusted in the same manner as the Schedule configuration in SECTION 4.4.

VIDEO LOSS
In the event that signal is lost by one camera, others can be activated to record while additional devices can also be triggered.
Like the Trigger tab in the Alarm Handling section of the Sensor menu, you can select the events that you wish to occur in the event that a video input is lost. Both Alarms and PTZ events can be scheduled as in the Sensor menu above.
Specific areas can be made sensitive by applying a blue grid to the desired section of the screen. The blue grid can be applied to the entire screen – signifying that the entire field of view is sensitive - by clicking on
the star button. The trash can button will remove the grid completely. Click and drag with the mouse on the screen to draw or erase the grid in select areas.
Sensitivity:

OTHER ALARM
In this menu you can set the DVR to alert you to a full Hard Drive, IP Conflict on the network or a Disconnection.
You can set the response as well as at what threshold of remaining disk space you wish to be alerted.
As sensitivity is influenced by color and light level, you can adjust its values according to your specific conditions. The default value is “4.” A setting of “8” is most sensitive while a setting of “1” is minimally sensitive.
