To trigger motion detection as long as there is activity in the area, select a high history level.

To only detect flashing light, low sensitivity can be selected. In other cases, a high sensitivity level is recommended.

Port Status

Under Event Configuration > Port Status there is a list showing the status for the camera’s input and output. This is for the benefit of Operators, who have no access to the System Options section.

Example: If the Normal state for a push button connected to an input is set to Open circuit - as long as the button is not pushed, the state is inactive. If the button is pushed, the state of the input changes to active.
