The Motion Detection Zone screen is laid over the video for the selected
camera. You can set up motion detection zones by selecting or clearing
blocks.
NOTE: You can set up motion zones one block at a time in groups
of 8 or 16 individual block groups (8- and 16-channel DVR
respectively). A block group is positioned within the image
area using the Up and Down arrow buttons, and individual
blocks within the block groups are selected or cleared using
the camera buttons.
Press the button to display the menu screen. The menu on the setup screen has the following functions:
Select — Activates highlighted blocks to detect motion.
Clear — Deactivates highlighted blocks so that they will not detect motion.
Reverse — Activates inactive highlighted blocks and deactivates active highlighted blocks.
Select All — Activates all blocks to detect motion.
Clear All — Deactivates all blocks so that they will not detect motion.
Reverse All — Activates inactive blocks and deactivates active blocks.
OK — Accepts changes and closes Zone setup.
Cancel — Exits Zone setup without saving changes.
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.
Turning Zone View On will allow you to observe how the DVR is reacting to motion. When in the motion viewing
mode, the detection zone of video will be displayed. Any detected motion within the zone will be displayed in red.
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.
Highlight the Actions 1 and Actions 2 tabs and the Motion Detection Actions 1 and Actions 2 screens display.
The DVR can be set to react to motion detection 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, move
PTZ cameras to preset positions, and/or display a camera on
a SPOT monitor.
NOTE: You can associate multiple cameras with a camera
that detects motion.
