You can adjust the minimum number of detection blocks that must be
activated to trigger a motion alarm. Highlighting the box under the Min.
Blocks heading and pressing the
button allows you to adjust the
minimum number of detection blocks for Daytime and Nighttime
independently. Smaller numbers provide greater sensitivity because fewer
detection blocks must be activated.
Highlight the box under the Actions and press the
button. The DVR can be set to react to motion differently for
each camera. Each camera can be associated with another camera, trigger an Alarm-Out connector, sound the DVR’s
internal buzzer, notify a number of different devices, and/or move PTZ cameras to preset positions.
You can control excessive event logging and remote notification of motions detected after the motion dwell time by
adjusting the motion ignoring dwell intervals. Highlight the box beside Motion Ignoring Interval and press the
button. A list of intervals ranging from 1 to 10 seconds or Never appears. The DVR will not log and notify motion
events occurred during the preset interval range.
NOTE: The record action for motion events will not be affected by the Motion Ignoring function.
Highlighting Daytime Setup and pressing the button allows you to set up the Daytime range.
Highlight the box beside Daytime and press the button. Use
the Up and Down arrow buttons to set the Daytime range. The DVR
will consider the remaining time range as the Nighttime.
