Detection

 

picture area. Create a single motion detection window for the whole image area, or create up to three discrete

assigned with a unique name, and a set of profile sliders that allow you to set individual alarm thresholds for the

A Motion Indicator is also included, to provide an immediate visual display of actual detected motion against the

 

 

defined alarm thresholds that are established for the highlighted window.
