Configure motion detection
To configure motion detection, do the following:
1. Expand Advanced Configuration > Cameras and Storage Information, right-click the
relevant camera > Properties.
2. In the Camera Properties window, select the Recording Properties tab > select the relevant
settings (see "About motion detection" on page 66).
3. Select the Motion Detection tab. If there are any areas to exclude from motion detection (for
example, if the camera covers an area where a tree is swaying in the wind), you can exclude
that area (see "Adjust motion detection: Exclude regions" on page 54) by selecting it with your
mouse.
4. Fill in the relevant properties (see "Motion detection & exclude regions" on page 97). Note that
there are some differences in motion-detection behavior for PTZ cameras (see "About motion
detection and PTZ cameras" on page 68).
Disable or delete cameras
All cameras are enabled by default. This means that video from the cameras can be transferred to
your system if the cameras are scheduled to be online (see "Online period" on page 135).
To disable a camera:
1. Expand Advanced Configuration, expand Cameras and Storage Information, double-click
the camera you want to disable, and clear the Enabled box.
2. Save your configuration changes by clicking Save in the yellow notification bar in the upper-
right corner of the Management Application.
