Motion Detection allows the user to go into playback and see what time the motion took place. If not set up correctly, many variables can cause motion not to work as intended.
Q. Why is only one camera recording motion?
A. If you are only getting motion detection on one of your cameras, you will need to make sure the recorder channel, under event and video detect, is specified for the channel that it is currently on.
Q. Why is my recorder not recording on motion when I set it to?
A. This can happen if for a bunch of different reasons. If the enable box was not checked under video detect, if motion was not set to record under schedule, if the period was not set correctly under video detect or the region settings are not sensitive enough.
Q. Why do I have so many events?
A. If motion detection is setting off too much, try adjusting the motion region under video detect. You can adjust where the motion would take place with the red boxes, as well as the sensitivity and threshold.
Q. What does "Sensitivity" and "Threshold" do and how does it effect motion detection recording?
A. Sensitivity will effect how large of an impact an object or person will need to make in the scene to push past the threshold required for an event to be registered as a recorded event. Threshold may be adjusted in cases where there maybe a lot of movement in the scene, such as branches of trees moving or insects moving past the camera. Adjusting these two values on a per camera basis will help alleviate false positives for motion detection recording.
Q. Why is there a solid yellow bar when I am recording motion?
A. If there is a solid yellow bar, it is constantly picking up motion. A way to adjust that would be going into the video detect tab and adjusting the region/threshold as it could be picking up tree movement or something that is not relevant to the recording.
