The QR code: It records the info of UID, you can scan it with your phone to access the camera.

4.4 Device Setting > Alarm

The camera will detect motion when there is a change in the picture. Check the Enable box to enable motion detection. You can set up the Sensitivity, Area on this page.

28

Note: D on’t use PTZ and motion detection simultaneously. When the camera pans/tilts/zooms, the images will change. It will be taken mistakenly by camera as motion. Thus false alarms will be triggered. So it is not suggested you use PTZ and motion detection simultaneously.

4.4.1 Alarm >Sensitivity

It means how sensitive the camera will be to the change of the images. Drag the slider to change the sensitivity values. The lower the number is, the more sensitive to motion the camera will be, and the more frequent motion will be triggered.

Tips:

1. The day is divided into four periods by default, you may change each perio d’s start and end time to best match the changing lighting conditions in your location.

2. During the day time, the light is good enough for the camera to capture the whole scenario, the sensitivity is suggested to set between 5

–10 which will give good results.

3. During the night time, the motion detection is more sensitive, the value is suggested set to 25-30 or even higher which will significantly avoid some fault triggers .

Note:

The motion detection will be affected by the light and weather, it is suggested that you should test your motion detection sensitivity both during the day and at night to ensure your sensitivity setting is suitable for either lighting condition.

False Triggers

Setting the motion detection at high sensitivity levels (4 or lower) increases the frequency of false alarms. On the other hand, low sensitivity levels (20 or higher) increase the risk that a significant motion event (such as an intruder) will not trigger the motion detection to record.

29

Check the Motion Detection settings both during the day and night. In low-light conditions (or when your cameras are using infrared night vision) the Camera may be more or less sensitive to motion, depending on the circumstances. The difference might be very dramatic!

Weather

The weather conditions are going to affect your motion detection. Dramatic weather phenomenon such as heavy rain, strong winds, lightning and so on, may trigger the motion detection with surprising frequency. On the other hand, things like fog, mist and other obscuring kinds of weather might mask or obscure something moving to the point that the camera fails to detect them.

Here are a few steps you can take to minimize the amount of noise in your images.

1. Try adjusting the Image Settings to fine-tune the brightness and contrast to get a more stable image.

2. Limit the motion sensitive area to only the areas in view that a target could be. In particular, large featureless areas in the camera’s view are the ones most likely to give false triggers - turning off the motion sensitivity to any area a target cannot move in front of will help reduce false triggers.

4.4.2 Alarm > Area

You can set the motion detection area on this page. Areas marked with grids will be triggered alerts by motion detection, those not marked will not be. Left click mouse and drag it to select or de-select areas you want to trigger alerts when motion is detected.

Select All: Click to select the whole screen as the motion detection area.

Clear All: Click to clear all the motion detection area you configured.

Tips:

1. Click mouse to select and click again to de-select.

30

2. Click and drag the left-click button on the mouse to select or de-select certain area you want.
