Setting up Motion Detection
Set up properly, using motion detected recording will increase the number of days your DVR is able to
record. It will only record relevant events rather than everything, which will also make searching for
events easier.
To set up motion detection:
1. Enter the Motion Detection menu, shown in Figure 65 by going to Menu > Recording
Configuration > Motion Detection.
Figure 65 Motion Detection Settings Menu
2. Select the camera to configure in the camera dropdown list.
3. Check the Enable Motion Detection checkbox to enable motion detection for the selected camera.
Uncheck the checkbox to disable motion detection.
4. Set the motion detection sensitivity by adjusting the green Sensitivity bar. The more lime green
rectangles selected in the bar, the higher the sensitivity will be to motion.
5. Set the motion detection region in the preview screen on the right side of the menu by leftclicking with the mouse on an open area. A red grid will be shown, designating that the selected
area is part of the motion detection region. Dragging or left-clicking on areas that overlap the
current selected motion detection area will include them into the region. You may also click the
Full Screen button to include the whole area into the motion detection region. Left-clicking on
any part of the grid will remove that section from the motion detection region.
6. If you’re not satisfied with the selected region, you may click the Clear button to reset the motion
detection area.
7. Select the actions to take if motion is detected in the designated regions. Click the Set button to
pop up the Handing menu.
