Motion Detection Setup
Here, you’ll be able to set the motion detection features of the DVR for each channel. We suggest that motion detection is, under most circumstances, the most practical recording method for the DVR to employ.
How it Works: Once motion detection has been enabled for a channel, it will register to the DVR as an ALARM EVENT. Thus, you can use the ALARM RECORDING mode in the schedule to trigger the DVR to record when motion detection triggers an alarm signal.
Enable: Whether or not motion detection is enabled on a specific channel. Each channel can be configured independently of one another.
Sensitivity: There are eight levels of motion detection sensitivity, 1 being the least sensitive and 8 being the most sensitive. To find the right value for you, we suggest setting it and then testing the chosen setting by getting an able volunteer to move through the camera’s view and testing whether or not the motion detection is trig- gered.
Note: The motion detection feature will seem more sensitive at night, particularly when using
Area: Click the applicable Setup button to setup the motion detection area for that channel. See “Motion Detection Area Setup” on page 29 for details on how to do this, and what it means.
Remember: After making changes to the settings press/click the APPLY button. | 27 |
