the display window towards the right or left from the right bottom of the motion detection window
(shown as above) . Motion Zone Select further fine-tunes what you want the camera to pay attention to. If
a driveway gate is your area of interest, simply draw a box around it on your screen and drag the box to
the area, the camera will alert you when someone comes or goes.
[Threshold] Determines at what point the alarm is triggered. A lower threshold means less motion is
needed to trigger the alarm. A higher threshold means more motion is needed to trigger the alarm.
Threshold is indicated by the blue bar when motion is detected.
[Sensitivity] Determines how easily the camera detects motion. Lower sensitivity means the camera is less
likely to detect motion. Higher sensitivity means the camera is more likely to detect motion.
Click Apply to confirm your setting. It will take several seconds to store the configuration. Please wait for the
camera to flash letting you know the change has taken place.
Internet Explorer can show you a live indicator for motion: When there is motion, a blue level appears
between the sensitivity and threshold slider as shown in the picture. More blue means more motion. To
trigger an alarm (and hence send out emails or upload to an FTP server etc) the detected amount of motion
needs to be larger than the threshold setting. If the blue level does not reach the threshold setting the
motion is ignored.
The best way to configure these settings is to adjust the settings and have someone walk in front of the
camera until your feel you are getting the required results. This trial and error method make take quite long
to get right but it’s the best way to obtain good results.
Moving an object (a person or a car, for instance) directly toward the camera may not trigger motion
detection until the object is within 10 to 15 feet of the camera. Motion detection works well when the object
is moving from one side of the picture to the other side, often triggering in a second or less. The object that
triggered the motion was coming directly towards the camera instead of at an angle (or from the side), which
is the least effective to trigger motion.
Please note: Motion detection in Internet Explorer uses the ActiveX plug-in. You will need to install or
enable this plug-in if you do not have it. To check you have ActiveX enabled visit
