Video and image problems, general
Image unsatisfactory	Check the video stream and camera settings under Setup > Video & Audio > Video Stream and
	Setup > Video & Audio > Camera Settings.
Motion Detection triggers unexpectedly
Changes in luminance	Motion detection is based on changes in luminance in the image. This means that if there are
	sudden changes in the lighting, motion detection may trigger mistakenly. Lower the sensitivity
	setting to avoid problems with luminance.

	settings are correct.

	use half-duplex mode instead.
Storage and disk management problems
Storage disruption	A storage disruption alarm is sent if a storage device is unavailable, removed, full, locked or if other
	read or write problems occur. To identify the source of the problem, check the System Log under
	System Options > Support > Logs & Reports. Depending on the problem, it might be necessary to
	re-mount the storage device.
