Motion detection alarm
The TVR 10 lets you define motion detection alarms. A motion detection alarm refers
to an alarm triggered when a camera detects a motion. The alarm displays on the
status bar of the screen.
You can define the level of sensitivity to motion, the area on screen where the motion
is detected, and specify which cameras can record the motion when a motion alarm
is detected.
If you enable this function, the TVR 10 will display the alarm on the status bar on the
screen when motion is detected.
