Alarm: Motion Detection

Channel: The channel you’re configuring the motion detection

settings for.

Enable: Whether the motion detection is enabled for the channel

currently selected.

Sensitivity: A sliding scale between 1 and 50. The number refers

to the number of pixels (as a percentage) that have to “change”

between frames - okay, this one is a little more complex than

this summary will allow. Seriously - check out “Alarm: Motion

Detection - Action” on page 41 for a much more useful

explanation of how motion detection works.

Action: What you’d like the DVR to do when it detects motion.

Typically (assuming the schedule is configured to do so) this will

be to record video. It can also be a cue to trigger an email alert,

or to sound the DVR’s internal buzzer.

Alarm: Video Loss

Action (Check boxes): Whether you’d like the DVR to send an

email alert or to sound the DVR’s internal buzzer.

Arm Schedule: The times of day/week you’d like the DVR to be

“armed” to detect video loss.

Alarm: Exception

Exception Type: What event type you’d like the DVR to react to.

By configuring the Action for these events, you can create any

combination of audio alerts (see below) or auto-emails to be

sent for different event types.

Audio Warning: Sounds the DVR’s internal buzzer.

Send Email: Commands the DVR to send an email alert.

Show Exception: Shows any alerts that occur at the bottom right

corner of the main screen. Double-click on the alert notification

to see details.
