NOTE
► How does motion detection work?
There are  two motion detection  parameters: Sensitivity and  Percentage. In the  illustration above, 
frame A and frame B are two sequential images� Pixel differences between the two frames are 
detected and highlighted in gray (frame C) and will be compared with the sensitivity setting� Sensitivity 
is a value that expresses the sensitivity to moving objects� Higher sensitivity settings are expected to 
detect slight movements while smaller sensitivity settings will neglect them� When the sensitivity is set 
to 70%, the Network Camera denes the pixels in the purple areas as “alerted pixels” (frame D).
Percentage is a value that expresses the proportion of “alerted pixels” to all pixels in the motion 
detection window. In this case, 50% of pixels are identied as “alerted pixels”. When the percentage is 
set to 30%, the motions are judged to exceed the dened threshold; therefore, the motion window will 
be outlined in red�
For applications that require a high level of security management, it is suggested to use higher 
sensitivity settings and smaller percentage values�
