Name Description
Manual sensitivity
Enable this functionality to be able to adjust the Sensitivity slide for
motion yourself.
Drag the slider to the left for a higher sensitivity level, and to the
right for a lower sensitivity level.
 The higher the sensitivity level, the less change is allowed in
each pixel before it is regarded as motion.
 The lower the sensitivity level, the more change in each pixel is
allowed before it is regarded as motion.
Pixels in which motion is detected are highlighted in green in the
preview image.
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.
Sensitivity
Use this to determine how much each pixel must change before it is
regarded as motion. With a high sensitivity, very little change in a
pixel is required before it is regarded as motion. Areas in which
motion is detected are highlighted in green in the preview image.
Select a slider position in which only detections you consider motion
are highlighted. The more you drag the slider to the left, the more of
the preview image becomes highlighted. This is because with a
high sensitivity even the slightest change in a pixel will be regarded
as motion. As an alternative to using the slider, you may specify a
value between 0 and 256 in the field next to the slider to control the
sensitivity setting.
