16-Channel Digital Video Recorder

Motion Search

The Motion Search… can be selected from the Search menu while the DVR displays the camera full screen. The Motion Search screen displays a list of motion events. Use the arrow buttons to highlight the event for which you would like to see video and press the (Play/Pause) button to display the video associated with the selected event on the small search screen.

Highlighting Close and pressing the button will extract the video associated with the Motion event and display the first image of the event. Pressing the button will start playing the “event” video segment. Pressing the PLAY/STOP button returns to live monitoring.

You can also narrow your event search by selecting the Option… button and setting up the new search condition.

You can search video from the first to last recorded images, or you can set the start and stop times and dates.

Highlight the box beside From and press the button to toggle between On and Off. When set to Off, you can enter a specific Date and Time. When set to On, the search will be from the first recorded image. When highlighting and pressing the button the bookmark list displays and the bookmark point you selected will be the starting date and time.

Highlight the box beside To and press the button to toggle between On and Off. When set to Off, you can enter a specific Date and Time. When set to On, the search will be to the last recorded image. When highlighting and pressing the button the bookmark list displays and the bookmark point you selected will be the ending date and time.

Highlight the box beside Type and press the button. You can select between Motion Search and Museum Search. Motion Search detects motion in the defined area. Museum Search detects if a defined object has moved.

Highlight the box beside Zone and press the button. An image from the video appears with a grid overlaid. You can turn sensor blocks On and Off to define the area of the picture in which you want to search for motion.

NOTE: Defining the area of the image in which you want to search for motion is nearly identical to setting up the DVR for Motion Detection. Please refer to Motion Detection Screen in Chapter 3 — Configuration for more detailed instructions on setting up the detection blocks.

When setting the Museum Search Zone, the zone should be placed inside of the border line of the target object. If the selected block is placed on the border line, the sensitivity of the Museum Search may decrease.

The zone should be placed or focused on the centre or, at least, within the outline of targeted object.

Highlight the box beside Sensitivity and press the button. You will be able to select from 1 (low sensitivity) to 5 (high sensitivity).

Highlight the box beside Min. Blocks and press the button. You will be able to set the number of sensor blocks that must be activated. Setting the Min Blocks will only be available if Motion Search is selected.

Once you set your desired search conditions, highlight Search and press the button to display the search results in the Motion Search screen. Selecting Cancel exits the screen without saving the changes.

When you search for motion events of another camera, you will be asked whether or not you want to delete the previous search results from the list.
