Motion detection sensitivity
Motion detection is per default set up for dynamic sensitivity. However, you can also adjust the
sensitivity level manually under Motion Detection properties.
Milestone recommends that you do not enable manual sensitivity because:
With dynamic sensitivity, the system calculates and optimizes the sensitivity level automatically
and suppresses the motion detections that come from noise in the images.
Dynamic sensitivity improves motion detection at nighttime, where the noise in the images
often triggers false motion.
The system is not overloaded from too much recording.
The users are not missing results from too little recording.
Motion detection and PTZ cameras
Motion detection generally works the same way for pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras as it does for regular
cameras. However, you cannot configure motion detection separately for each of a PTZ camera's
preset positions.
