NOTE! Motion Detection can also be set up in the Motion Events menu as
described in Motion Video Loss and Camera Masking Detection,
below. If you need the NVR to do more than just record motion events, then
follow those instructions. You do not need to set up motion detection in both
menus.

You may set more than one type of recording to occur at the same time but it should be
noted that when regular recording is selected, the NVR will be already be recording whether a
Motion Detection event occurs or not.
Copy – This allows you to duplicate a
channel’s setting and apply them to
another channel. When you click on
the Copy button the Copy2Paste
popup window will open allowing you
to select which channel(s) you wish to
apply the settings to.
Default – Returns your NVR’s recording
settings to the factory default of
recording all the time.
You must check the OK button to apply your settings. Right-clicking or hitting Cancel will
leave your settings unchanged.
ALARM
The use of alarms with your DVR is covered in Chapter 6 Alarms.
MOTION, VIDEO LOSS AND CAMERA MASKING DETECTION
The DVR can be programmed to alert the user - and take specific actions - when motion is
detected, the NVR loses connection to a camera or someone is physically covering a camera.
The responses to these events are found in the Motion Event menu. Each channel can be
individually configured to respond to each event as you chose, or you can give all cameras
identical settings.
The upper portion of this window is for setting the type of event, whether it is activated, and
specific parameters relating to event detection. The bottom portion of this window allows you
to choose how the system will respond to these events.

Motion Detection
With the Event Type drop-down set to
Motion Detect, you can configure your NVR
to record when someone or something
moves through a camera’s field of view.
Please note that this is an alternate way to
schedule motion detection to the method laid
out in the previous pages.

This menu offers further refinements including what actions the NVR will take when motion
is detected. Such actions include having other cameras begin recording, how long they’ll
continue to record and even whether cameras will take still image snapshots and e-mail them
to selected addresses. You do not need to set up Motion Detection in both sections but the
NVR will use the schedules from both menus to determine when to record Motion events.
Channel – You can select an individual channel to configure or select All to give all of
your cameras the same settings. You must have set that channel to record motion
detection in the Schedule menu as described in the previous section.
Region – Clicking the Region button will bring up a grid overlaying that camera’s view.
By default, each “block” of the grid will have a
red hue indicating that it is sensitive to motion
detection. Clicking in a block will make it clear
meaning that motion detection has been
turned off for that area. Turning off motion
detection in selected areas is useful for
situations when there is frequent movement
by inanimate objects such as flags or wind-
blown trees and this will reduce false alerts.
You can click and drag the mouse to turn
off multiple blocks at the same time and you
can deactivate motion detection in multiple,
separate, areas of the screen.
To reactivate motion detection, simply repeat the process in the deactivated blocks and they
will regain their red hue and detect motion as normal.
You cannot use Copy/Paste in Motion Detection because each channel will have a different
display. Right-clicking will exit the screen and your settings will be saved.
Sensitivity – The system supports six levels of sensitivity with Level 6 being the most sensitive.
