Setting up motion detection
Motion detection is one of the most important features of a NVR. The NVR can be set
up to trigger an alarm if it detects motion and to record it. You can then search these
recorded motion activities for specific incidents. If enabled, motion detection recording
can help increase the number of days your NVR can record.
You can mask out any areas of motion on an IP camera display that you do not want to
trigger a recording such as a flag on a pole or a moving tree. You can also select the
level of sensitivity to motion.
You can set up the schedule from the NVR when the camera can be triggered by
motion. However, you need to configure the area of the video display sensitive to
motion from the IP camera itself.
Note: Motion detection cannot be set up from the front panel.
Motion detection set up
To set up motion detection:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Camera Management > Motion.
2. Select the IP camera to detect motion. Each camera must be set up individually.
3. Check Enable Motion Detection.
4. Select the areas sensitive to motion.
Click and drag the mouse cursor across the window. The area selected appears as
a red grid. Areas covered by the red grid are sensitive to motion detection.
