Using Motion Detection: Enable “Use This Event” for the selected camera. Use
the“EventSchedule”todenethehoursduringwhichmotiondetectionisused.
Pre/Post Recording Time: “Event Duration” is how long after motion ends until
the DVR stops recording the camera. Enable “Use Pre-Event” recording and enter
a time to record images captured immediately before each motion event.
Capture Rate: Use the “Override Capture Rate” to cause faster than normal
recording during a motion event.
Audit Entries: Every time motion is detected an audit entry will be generated
if you enable “Add an Audit Trail Entry.” Use the “Audit Schedule” to limit audit
entries to only those hours when you want to track activity, such as after business
hours.
Audio Recording: You may enable audio recording when the motion is detected.
Monitor Alarm: The “Monitor Alarm” feature will cause the local VGA monitor
to go full screen on the selected camera (Live Monitor Mode only) whenever a
new motion event is sensed. You may enable and set duration for each camera
desired.
Sensitivity&Masking: Use the “More” button to access sensitivity and masking
options. Sensitivity determines the number of pixels that must change content
in any unmasked square in order for the image to be considered having motion.
Sensitivity may need adjustment depending on the environment and camera.
Masking allows you to ignore parts of the image as a source of motion triggering.
