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 65).
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 53) by selecting it with your
mouse.
4. Fill in the relevant properties (see "Motion detection & exclude regions" on page 96). Note that
there are some differences in motion-detection behavior for PTZ cameras.
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 134).
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.
To delete a camera, you have to delete the hardware device (see "Delete hardware devices" on page
59). If you delete the hardware device, you also delete any attached microphones or speakers. If you
do not want this, consider disabling the camera instead.
