Saving Alarm Input Settings
Click Save after you have configured the alarm input settings for an alarm in the Events
Application section of the System tab. See Setting the Alarm Status and Type, page 90, Setting
the Alarm Actions, page 92, and Setting a File Name on page 94 for more information.
Motion Detection Settings
You can set up the camera to send an alarm notification when suspicious motion is detected.
An alarm is triggered when motion volume in the detected area reaches and/or exceeds a
predefined sensitivity threshold value. You can send a message to an FTP, email, or HTTP
server, or you can upload images to an FTP server, email server, or record a video clip to a
storage device when the suspicious motion is detected.
Selecting a Motion Detection Profile to Configure
Up to four motion detection profiles can be configured, each with their own sensitivity settings,
triggered actions, and so on.
1. Navigate to System
Events Motion Detection (see Figure 6-11).
2. In the Motion Detection drop-down list, select the motion detection profile (from 1-4) that
you want to configure.
Setting the Motion Detection Status
The motion detection function is disabled by default. Enable motion detection by selecting a
profile (see Selecting a Motion Detection Profile to Configure on page 95), then select on, or by
schedule (schedules must be set up to be used with motion detection; see Schedule Settings
on page 128). When the motion detection function is activated, a pop-up window appears
indicating the detected motion (as shown in Figure 6-10).
