Motion detection alarm
A motion detection alarm is an alarm that is triggered when a camera detects
motion. The DVR 31 can be configured to display an on-screen alert icon and
sound an alarm tone. The DVR 31 lets you define the area on screen where the
motion is detected, the level of sensitivity to motion, the schedule, and the target
size.
To define a motion detection alarm:
1. Click Cameras on the main menu to display the Cameras screen.
2. In the Current Camera box, select the camera for which you want to define a
motion detection alarm .
3. Click the Motion Detection Setup button to display the Motion Detection
screen.
4. In the Motion Detection box, select the schedule of when you want motion
detection to be enabled.
5. Click the Detection Area Setup button to define the motion detection area.
The system displays a grid covering the entire live view screen of the
currently selected camera as shown in the figure below. By default, motion
detection is set for the entire screen. Each green square represents a motion
detection area. Click on an area (or press Enter) to stop motion detection in
that area. When only the desired detection areas remain, right-click, and then
click Confirm to save your settings. Press Esc to return to the main menu.
Alternatively, you can select the entire area by right-clicking, and then clicking
Select All. A grid covers the entire display screen. Click Deselect All to clear
the screen from motion detection.
6. Select a sensitivity level in the Sensitivity box.
