Motion Detection Alerts

The Motion Detection feature can generate an Alert when motion is detected.

The iCamera2 will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the movement of

large objects.

But the motion detector can also be triggered by:

• Sudden changes in the level of available light

• Movement of the camera itself.

Try to avoid these situations. The motion detection feature works best in locations where there

is good steady illumination, and the camera is mounted securely. It cannot be used outdoors

due to the sensitivity of the CMOS sensor.

Note: The Motion Detection settings can only be configured while using IE browser.

To Use Motion Detection Alerts

Using the Web-based interface on the iCamera2, select the Motion Detection screen, then

configure this screen as described below.

Figure 12: Motion Detection

1. Enable the Motion Detection feature.

2. Set the area or areas of the video image to be examined for movement. You can define up

to 4 areas, and set the motion threshold individually for each area.

3. If using a schedule, define the desired schedule in Trigger & Recording screen.

4. Save your changes.

If the Motion Detection feature is enabled, but the related

options in the Trigger & Recording screen are not enabled,

then the only action when motion is detected is to log this

event in the system log.
