ADVANCED FEATURES (OPTIONAL)
The ISEE-VCAM1 supports pixel-based motion
detection which allows the camera to send motion
triggered video clips to the VideoAlert.net video
server upon motion in a selected area.
To configure the camera for motion
detection, enter Video Motion Set-
tings mode my clicking the Video
Motion icon and the screen Video
Motion Settings screen will appear.
Click the Active box to enable pixel-based motion
detection. To set a motion detection window, click
the colored box on the right and drag the window
into the live image.
Simply drag the window to a specific section of the live view screen and size it appropriately by pressing
SHIFT and dragging and dragging a side of the window. Once the window is properly positioned and
sized, the sensitivity threshold can be set by dragging the corresponding threshold slider to the left for less
sensitivity and to the right for more.
The camera has the ability to store video recorded before the actual sensing of motion. Use the PRE
and POST slider control to adjust the Pre-Capture Length and Post-Capture Length setting, with Pre-
Capture Length being the length of video captured before the actual sensing of motion and the Post-
Capture Length being the length of the video after the sensing of motion.
Use the slider control for each respective Area box to adjust the sensitivity of the pixel based motion detec-
tion, with 100% being the highest sensitivity and 0% being the lowest.
When settings are complete, click the Apply/Save and then click the camera name above the ive
view to exit.
Note: Motion detection analyzes the video and detects changes in the pixel properties. It is important that
the detection windows enabled be limited to only areas of anticipated activity. If using motion detec-
tion outdoors, changes in pixels may be caused by blowing tree branches, shrubs, sun / shade
changes caused by changing cloud cover, etc. To avoid nuisance triggers, exclude these areas of
concern from the enabled detection area.
Programming Motion Detection Schedules
If desired, the Motion Detection feature may be controlled by schedule, allowing the user to set a specific
time and day for motion detection and email triggering. This will prompt the system to capture video clips
and send email notifications only if motion detection is sensed during the scheduled time period.
To program schedules, go to the live viewer and click the Advanced Settings icon and
the advanced features screen will appear
