Chapter 12
Configuring alarm settings
This chapter describes setting up how the system will respond when an alarm is
triggered.
Motion detection
Motion detection is one of the most important features of a DVR. With it there is
no need to manually search through hours of video recordings to find an event.
The TVR 60 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
DVR can record.
You can mask out any areas of motion on an analog camera display that you do
not want to trigger a recording such as a flag on a pole or a moving tree.
Select the level of sensitivity to motion as well the target size so that only objects
that could be of interest can trigger a motion recording. For example, recording
is triggered by the movement of a person but not that of a cat. Motion sensitivity
and target size can only be set up using the mouse when in the motion detection
area setup interface. See Figure 36 on page 88 for a description of the mouse
pop-up menu.
