Video Motion Alarm
The Video Motion Alarm settings allow you to configure powerful motion detection alerts that include full control
over motion quantity, size, area, speed and direction of motion. In addition to the alarm itself, a wide variety of
alarm notification settings are available. Motion alarms can be used in addition to any other recording mode.
For the basic configuration options refer to Motion Recording Settings above.
Note: When Video Motion Alarm is enabled and a motion alarm is detected, the DVR will record in
alarm mode regardless of any other recording mode defined, and an alarm event will be triggered.
A motion vector is composed of two or more motion detection regions and one vector. It
represents an object moving through specific areas of the image in a set direction. If motion is
detected in two of the regions in the general direction indicated by the vector arrow, the Motion
Alarm will be triggered.
Draw Region
Draws a motion detection region as an alternative to using the mouse and drawing by hand. You
cannot draw on a motion detection region to create a clear region. Note: Regions with sides that
are touching or overlapped are detected as one region. To use a motion vector, you must have at
least 2 motion regions that do not border each other.
Set Vector
Specify a direction of movement that will trigger a motion alarm; draw a direction by clicking and
dragging the mouse. An arrow will be drawn on the preview window. Note: If there is no motion
vector arrow specified, any of the selected regions will trigger a motion alarm.
Clear Removes the applied motion vector.
Motion Timeout
Determines the speed required to trigger the alarm. Motion must be detected in two or more of the
regions in the desired direction within this time. If the object moves so slowly that it does not
move from one region to the next within the Motion Timeout period, then a motion alarm will not
be triggered.
