There are two ways to adjust the motion settings.
1.) Sensitivity Value:
2.) Motion Value:
The Sensitivity bar is used to change the sensitivity of the area you selected. The smaller the value the
more sensitive the movement the camera will see.
The Motion Value bar is used to set the size of the object that will trigger the motion. The smaller the
percentage the smaller the object will need to be trigger the motion alarm.
Tip: If there is nothing moving on the screen but the camera is still recording then the Sensitivity Value
and the Motion Value maybe set incorrectly. An example of where you may see this is if the Sensitivity
Value is set to 1 and the camera is detecting movement but there is nothing moving in the picture then
an old light fixture may be the culprit. Adjusting these settings would take care of this problem.
