Applications > Motion detection
This section explains how to configure the camera to enable motion detection. A total of five motion
detection windows can be configured.
Motion detection setting 1, Normal light mode, is for normal situations. Motion detection setting 2,
Profile mode, is for special situations.
To enable motion detection, follow these steps:
Click New to add a new motion detection window.
Step 1
In the Window Name text box, enter a name for the motion detection window.
Step 2
Use four mouse clicks to designate a detection window. You can change the window shape by dragging
the corner marks to a preferred location.
Drag the item size tab to change the minimum size of item to trigger an alarm. An item size box will
appear in the center of screen for your reference (in semi-transparent red). An intruding object must be
larger than the Item size to trigger an alarm. Change the item size according to the live view.
To delete a window, click the X mark on the right of the window name.
Define the sensitivity to moving objects by moving the Sensitivity slide bar.
Step 3
A high sensitivity is prone to produce false alarms such as the fast changes of light (such as day/night
mode switch, turning lights on/off). A movement must persist longer than 0.3 second for the motion to
be detected.
Click Save to enable the settings.
Step 4
Select Enable motion detection to enable this function.
