General Motion: Detect all movements in the defined area.
Define Detection Zone: Left click and drag to draw a detection zone. You may define more than one zone on the screen by repeating the process.
Sensitivity: Modify the sensitivity setting by changing the slider control. Move toward right will increase the sensitivity level, meaning the slightest movement will trigger the alarm; in contrast, move the slider control toward left will reduce the sensitivity for movement detection.
Note: Set up an appropriate sensitivity level reduces the possibility of a false alarm.
For instance, you can lower the sensitivity to avoid the alarm being triggered by a swinging tree in the breeze.
Interval: Move the slider control to the right to increase time interval so that the alarm will only be triggered when the movement lasts longer. Move to the left to reduce the time interval.
Stop When Found: Check the option to have the video stop where motion was detected. Uncheck the option to have video kept rolling, and all detected events will show on the list in search result box. Click on the listed event in the box to jump to the point in the video where a motion is detected.
2.3.2 Unusual Event-Foreign Object
Foreign Object: Alarm is set off when any additional object appears in the defined area on the screen.
Define detection zone: Before detecting foreign object, it is required to define a detection area. In order to do so, left click and drag on the screen. Alarm will be triggered when any additional object appears in the detection zone.
Define object size: Drag and draw on the screen to define the size of a foreign object.
Sensitivity: Modify the sensitivity setting by changing the slider control. Move toward right will increase the sensitivity level, which means a slight movement will trigger the alarm; in contrast, move the slider control toward left will reduce the sensitivity for movement detection.
Interval: Click and move the slider control to the right to increase time interval so that the alarm will only be triggered when the object has been removed from the area for longer. Move to the left to reduce the time interval.
Note: Setting up an appropriate Interval value will reduce the chance of false alarms. For example, you can lower the Interval to avoid the alarm being triggered by a pedestrian.

Sensitivity: Modify the sensitivity setting by changing the slider control. Move toward right will increase the sensitivity level and a relatively small movement will trigger the alarm; in contrast, move the slider control toward left will reduce the sensitivity for movement detection.
Interval: Click and move the slider control to the right to increase time interval so that the alarm will only be triggered when the movement lasts longer. Move to the left to reduce the time interval.
