Motion Detection Menu

The Motion Detection menu allows you to set motion options for each camera.

Note: The DVR detects motion based on the level of change in the picture.

Channel: Select which camera attributes to change from camera 1-4.

Sensitivity: Set the amount of movement necessary before motion detection triggers recording. Set from 1 (most sensitive) to 4 (least sensitive), default Off. Note: this feature must be set from 1-4 to enable motion recording.

Alarm Duration: Set the length of time the alarm will sound when motion is

detected. Set to Off, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 seconds or Continuous. Note: If the Alarm Duration is set to Continuous the alarm will continue to sound until this setting is changed.

Motion Area: Select the area of the Camera to detect motion. Motion occurring outside this designated area will not trigger a recording.

Use the arrow buttons to move around

the screen. Press the / Mute but- ton one time to select the position on screen then press the arrow but- tons up/down and left/right to draw out a detection box and press the Mute button again to close the box.

In the example to the left, the blue mo- tion box is drawn over the door. Only motion occurring in this area will trig- ger recording i.e. the door opening.

This feature is helpful in high traffic areas where only a small portion of the screen needs to be monitored for example, looking down a driveway with a busy road next to it.

Important: To enable Motion Recording you must set the Sensitivity, Motion Area for each camera AND set Motion Record in the Record Schedule menu.
