N: FPS of Camera
For analog camera (FCS-8004 capture card) P = 60
S=M*N+P For example: 16 channel system a) 1 camera at 1 Mega-pixel
resolution with 10FPS b) 2 cameras at D1 resolution with 15FPS c) 5 cameras at

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, which means a
relatively small movement will trigger the alarm; in
contrast, move the slider control toward left will
reduce the sensitivity for movement detection.
Set up an appropriate sensitivity level reduces the frequency of 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.

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
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 object has
been removed from the area for longer. Move to the left to reduce
the time interval.
Set up an appropriate Interval value will reduce the chance of false alarm.
For example, you can lower the Interval to avoid the alarm being
triggered by a pedestrian.
