Each time the camera detects motion it alerts the Command Center software and records the event and a few
prior frames. Once motion is detected, the system records uninterrupted until 5-seconds after the motions
stops. This could create seconds or minutes of compressed video.

Manage Motion Detection Zones
SETUP > Recording
When you have the Setup > Recording dialog open, Command Center enters a special mode that allows you to
select and draw motion zones directly on the Live Video image. You must be in Live Mode to access the full
functionality when working with motion zones.
To manage detection zones for a camera, follow these instructions:
1) Click on the Setup button and choose the Recording tab.
Creating and deleting individual zones now is an interaction between the open setup dialog and the
live video window.
a) To create a new zone, hold down your left-mouse button on one corner of the region and drag the
mouse across the screen to the opposite corner of the zone. (If you decide that you do not like the
zone you are creating, you can hit the ESC key before you let go of the mouse.)
