Settings Motion Detection Regions
The Setting button takes the user to the motion detection region setup screen for that specific channel. On the
next page is a screenshot of the motion detection region screen.
When the Setting button is clicked, the current channel’s interface comes into a full screen view. The user can
then set up to 4 regions, each with their own region name, sensitivity (1-100), and threshold (1-100). Each region
has a specific color, and the region selector tool is displayed when the mouse is moved to the top of the screen.
Sensitivity is the amount of change required to increase the motion detected by a percentage. The lower the
sensitivity, the more movement is required to trigger an alarm.
Threshold is the level that the motion detection needs to reach to trigger an alarm. The lower the threshold, the
more likely that motion will trigger an alarm.

live feed, that area is now enabled for motion detection. Clicking the FN button will switch the mode between
armed and disarmed, so that clicking and dragging the mouse can either designate a motion detection zone or
remove any motion detection zone markers.
o After the motion detection zone is set, click the enter button to exit the motion detection screen. Remember to
click the save button on the motion detection settings screen, otherwise the motion detection zones will not go
into effect. Clicking the escape button to leave the motion detection zone and will not save the zone setup.
