Name Description
Motion
Adjust the Motion slider so that motion detection is only triggered
by the required level of motion. The selected motion level is
indicated by the black vertical line in the Level bar above the
sliders. The black vertical line serves as a threshold. When motion
is above (to the right of) the selected level, the bar changes color
from green to red, indicating a positive motion detection.
Alternatively, specify a value between 0 and 10000 in the field on
the left to control the motion setting.
The more you drag the slider to the left, the more positive motion
detections you see because less change will be needed to trigger a
positive motion detection. The number of positive motion detections
may also affect the amount of video you record, the amount of
notifications you receive and more.
Keyframe Only
Select Keyframe only if you want motion detection to take place
only on keyframes of the video stream to reduce the system
resources used on motion detection.
Detection interval
Specify how often motion detection analysis is carried out on video
from the camera. The default is every 240 milliseconds (close to
once a quarter of a second). The interval is applied regardless of
your cameras' frame rate settings.
Adjusting this setting can help lower the amount of system
resources used on motion detection.
Detection resolution
Specify whether the full image or a selected percentage of the
image should be analyzed. For example, by specifying 25%, every
fourth pixel is analyzed instead of all pixels, reducing the system
resources used but also offering less accurate motion detection.
Privacy masking
If you need to mask any areas of the camera image from viewing, set the following properties:
Name Description
Enable Enable the Privacy Masking feature.
Show grid
Turn the grid on or off. Turning the grid off may provide a less
obscured view of the preview image. Select areas to exclude the
same way as you would when the grid is visible.
When on, the preview image is divided into small sections by a grid.
To define areas which should be excluded from privacy masking,
drag the mouse over the areas in the preview image while pressing
the mouse button down. The left mouse button selects a grid
section and the right mouse button clears a grid section. Selected
areas are highlighted in red.
