Smart Search
The Smart Search feature refines the loaded video footage based on motion detected within a user-defined region.
To perform a Smart Search, you must first define or “mask” a motion detection region. To do this, click Show Mask and
draw on the playback image. Any time a clear area is clicked on, the mask is expanded. Alternatively, when a masked
area is clicked on, the mask is removed. Click the Smart Search button to perform the search. Once the search is com-
plete, only video frames that contain motion in the masked region will be loaded for playback.
Note:If there is more than one masked region (i.e. two or more disconnected masks), the Smart Search will load
video frames that contain motion in any of the regions.
Show Mask Shows/hides the smart search mask.A mask can only be edited when the Show Mask button is latched on.
Mask
Offers some quick options for modifying masks:
Clear – Erases all masks on the image.
Select All – Masks the entire image.
Invert - Swaps clear and masked areas.
Note: The Show Mask button must be latched on for these options to be available.
Sensitivity
This slider controls the sensitivity of the motion detection algorithm used by the Smart Search function.
To the left is less sensitive, requiring larger change in motion; to the right is a more sensitive, detecting
smaller movement.
