About the Motion tab
The following devices have a Motion tab:

Cameras
On the Motion tab, you can enable and configure motion detection for the selected camera. Motion
detection configuration is a key element in your system: Your motion detection configuration
determines when the system generates motion events and typically also when video is recorded.
Time spent on finding the best possible motion detection configuration for each camera helps you later
avoid, for example, unnecessary recordings. Depending on the physical location of the camera, it may
be a good idea to test motion detection settings under different physical conditions such as day/night
and windy/calm weather.
Before you configure motion detection for a camera, Milestone recommends that you have configured
the camera's image quality settings, for example resolution, video codec and stream settings on the
Settings tab. If you later change image quality settings, you should always test any motion detection
configuration afterwards.

You can configure all the settings for a group of cameras, but you would typically set the exclude
regions per camera.
