Motion Detection
Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement occurs (or stops) in the video image. A total 
of 10 Include and/or Exclude windows can be configured.
• Included windows target 
specific areas within the 
whole video image
• Excluded windows define 
areas within an Include 
window that should be 
ignored (areas outside 
Include windows are auto
-
matically ignored)
Once configured, the motion 
detection windows will appear in the 
list of available triggers, for 
triggering events. See 
How to set up 
a triggered event above.
Note: Using the motion detection feature may decrease the camera’s overall performance.
