Advanced Motion Detection Settings

Motion Detect Sensitivity

The RedAlert’s MOTION DETECTION threshold can be configured. This means that you can choose exactly how much motion the RedAlert needs to detect before it will start capturing images. This is a setting that should be defined carefully, as if the setting is too low insignificant events (such as a passing bird or a minor interference event) may trigger the RedAlert to record. If the setting is too high, the RedAlert might not record when you really need it to!

The best way to configure the MOTION DETECT SENSITIVITY is to have an assistant to play the part of pretend security risk. This way we can observe how the RedAlert reacts to your unique environmental conditions, and configure it to deliver the best result.

Area

To set the MOTION DETECT SENSITIVITY optimally:

1.In the SETUP SUBMENU, use LEFT/RIGHT to navigate to MOTION DETECT SENSITIVITY. Press OK.

2.This will take you to the MOTION DETECT SENSITIVITY setup screen. You’ll see the area of the screen you’ve configured to be sensitive to motion, and two values: the TARGET VALUE, and the CURRENT VALUE.

3.When the CURRENT VALUE exceeds the TARGET VALUE, the RedAlert will be triggered to record an image/video.

4.With the help of your able assistant, we need to determine the correct value for the TARGET VALUE. Have your assistant play the part of the security risk, and slowly walk through the area covered by the RedAlert.

5.Whilst they do this, watch the CURRENT VALUE. It will fluctuate up and down, but what we’re looking for is the level it seems to average at.

6.Set the TARGET VALUE to a level determined by watching the CURRENT VALUE.

7.Once it’s set, test it by having your assistant repeat their performance, and checking to see if a motion event is triggered (the RedAlert will tell you on the screen when this happens).

8.If the RedAlert is not triggered when it should be, lower the TARGET VALUE. Alternately, if the RedAlert captures images when nothing is happening, raise the TARGET VALUE.

9.When you’ve configured the system to your satisfaction, exit the MOTION DETECT SENSITIVITY screen by pressing OK.
