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�
