Configuring Motion Detection Areas
and Sensitivity
You can configure the DVR to detect
motion only in certain areas. This can be
helpful if you want to only detect motion
in an important area (for example, the
entrance or driveway of your house) or if
normal traffic or movement (for
example, from a public street or a tree)
in an area is triggering the motion
detection.
You can also adjust the motion detection
to be more or
less sensitive. Higher
motion detection sensitivity means that
smaller amounts of motion will trigger
motion events. Lower motion detection
sensitivity means that it will take more
motion to trigger a motion event.
To configure motion detection
areas
and sensitivity:
1 From the Alarm Menu, select Mo
tion
Setup.
