If you hover your mouse pointer over the top-center of this window, another small window will appear
with options to configure sensitivity and threshold settings as well as to choose from up to four
regions.
Sensitivity - is the measure of how many pixels on the screen need to change before being
considered motion. 0 is the lowest value and 100 is the highest.
In plain English: Sensitivity is the difference between a squirrel running up a tree, versus a big dog
running up to and barking at that tree. A squirrel would trigger motion detection at a higher sensitivity
because it takes less change or movement to qualify as motion. But the dog would trigger motion
detection at a lower sensitivity because it takes more change or movement to qualify as motion.
Threshold - is the degree of movement that needs to occur before the motion is defined as a motion
event and is triggered. 0 is the lowest value and 100 is the highest.
In plain English: Threshold is the difference between a car driving quickly by on a street and a car
driving into the field of view, slowing down, and turning into a driveway. The car driving past would
not trigger motion detection based on a certain threshold setting, but the parking car would trigger
motion detection with that same threshold setting. The higher the threshold, the more time motion
needs to occur before motion detection is triggered. The lower the threshold, the less time motion
needs to occur before motion detection is triggered.
If sensitivity is set to 100 and threshold to 0, motion detection will be triggered by almost any change
in the field of view, large or small. But if sensitivity is set to 0 and threshold to 100, motion detection
will be extremely difficult to trigger.
The four regions are all different colors, so you can customize the field of view of any camera to
your specific preferences.
To choose another region, hover your mouse pointer near the top center of the region window, and a
small window will appear. Keep your mouse pointer inside that small window and select either region
2, 3, or 4:
