Activity Camera Setup
Activity detection is used to record more images to disk from cameras that have
activity. The sensitivity of activity can be adjusted and areas can be masked off
according to the scene type.
Detection
Select whether activity detection is on or off for the selected camera.
Sensitivity
There are 5 levels of sensitivity for activity detection.
Select the sensitivity level which matches the camera’s placing. Cameras sited
outdoors where there may be a lot of background movement, such as trees or
rain, should be set to Outdoor high or Outdoor low sensitivity. Cameras sited
indoors where there is very little background movement should be set to Indoor
high, Indoor low, or very low sensitivity.
Activity grid
An 8 x 16 grid is used to mask areas where activity detection is enabled. When
the grid is displayed, use the cursor keys to move the cursor to the desired
location and press a camera key to toggle the block on (white dot) or off.
