WORKING WITH THE MOTION TAB

The DVR5100 Remote Client allows you to set up to three motion detection zones per camera. These zones may be any size and shape, and they may be set to high or low sensitivity to motion. Motion settings may be used to trigger alarms of varying severity (minor, normal, major, or critical) that can be included in recording schedules. From the video pane, you can show or hide detected motion. You can also search for motion events using Quick or Enhanced Search. Motion must be enabled before the Motion tab is displayed.
