The threshold is the minimum value for the camera to detect motions on the image during the motion detection buffering.
Operating Instructions What is the sensitivity? The sensitivity is the level of brightness detected as motion by the camera. A high sensitivity setting enables the camera to detect slight brightness changes. Lower the sensitivity to make the camera detect only big brightness changes. Threshold setting is displayed. The detection level exceeds the threshold when motions are detected.
