3. Select a slider position in which only detections you consider motion are highlighted.
Highlighted motion in the preview image
You can compare and set the exact sensitivity setting between cameras by the number in the right
side of the slider.
Specify threshold
The motion detection threshold determines how many pixels in the image must change before it is
regarded as motion.
1. Drag the slider to the left for a higher motion level, and to the right for a lower motion level.
2. Select a slider position in which only detections that you consider motion are detected.
The black vertical line in the motion indication bar shows the motion detection threshold: When
detected motion is above the selected detection threshold level, the bar changes color from green to
red, indicating a positive detection.
Motion indication bar: changes color from green to red when above the threshold, indicating a positive motion detection
Select keyframes settings
Determines if motion detection is done on keyframes only instead of on the entire video stream. Only
applies to MPEG4 and H.264.
Motion detection on keyframes reduces the amount of processing power used to carry out the
analysis.

Select Keyframes only (MPEG) to do motion detection on keyframes only.
Select image processing interval
You can select how often the system performs the motion detection analysis.
From the Process image every (msec) list:

Select the interval. For example, every 1000 milliseconds is once every second. Default value
is every 500 milliseconds.
The interval is applied if the actual frame rate is higher than the interval you set here.
