Motion Detection
The motion detection technology relies on a frame by frame comparison of the captured video, allowing
users to set up alarms or other actions upon the camera’s movement detection on the predefined area.
This section is for users to set up motion detection areas. To configure action for the motion detection,
please refer to Event List (section 8.2).
Make sure to define sensitivity and threshold according to the environment in order to avoid false alarms.
There are no standard values as every site’s conditions are different. Generally speaking, increasing
sensitivity and lowering threshold will allow the camera to detect most of the motion detection, hence
the increase of false alarms. Doing the opposite can reduce false alarms but might increase the risk of
missing a key event.
