Motion Detection Alerts
The Motion Detection feature can generate an Alert when motion is detected.
The Network Camera will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the
movement of large objects.
But the motion detector can also be triggered by:
• Sudden changes in the level of available light
• Movement of the camera itself.
Try to avoid these situations. The motion detection feature works best in locations where
there is good steady illumination, and the camera is mounted securely. It cannot be used
outdoors due to the sensitivity of the CMOS sensor.
To Use Motion Detection Alerts
Using the Web-based interface on the Network Camera, select the Motion Detection
screen, then configure this screen as described below.
1. Enable the Motion Detection feature.
2. Set the area or areas of the video image to be examined for movement. You can define
up to 4 areas, and set the motion threshold individually for each area.
3. If using a schedule, define the desired schedule in Event Trigger screen.
4. Save your changes.
5. Select the E-Mail screen to have alerts sent by E-mail:
• Enable and enter at least one (1) E-mail address
• Select or enter the desired options for Video Attachment, Show "From" as and Subject
fields.
• Enter details of the SMTP Server used to send the E-mail.
If the Motion Detection feature is enabled, but E-
Mail is not enabled, then the only action when
motion is detected is to log this event in the system
log.
