Important Information

It is possible to use VMD (Video Motion Detection) on moveable cameras that are connected to NetVu

Connected image servers (this feature does not apply to non NetVu Connected DVR’s).

Ensure that the camera has been conﬁ gured correctly on the server so that, if VMD is active, the camera is set

up to have VMD inhibited when it is moving.

See the server manual for full details on this.
